Howdy Dianne, Tk doesn't work with Orca, so not accessible to me. I wanted to make sure this hadn't changed, so I tried installing it, but when I run tkremind, I get the following error:
[storm@fenrir ~] $ DISPLAY=:0 tkremind
Error in startup script: couldn't execute "hostname": no such file or
directory
while executing
"exec hostname"
invoked from within
"set Hostname [exec hostname]"
(file "/usr/bin/tkremind" line 27)
I used a small calculator example I found in tcl to test, and the window
opens, but nothing is read, so unfortunately tkremind isn't an option
for me.
I am using remind 4.2.5. The -a -k code does pop up a notification, but
it reads with a lot of \ characters added, it also includes the whole
entry, so it's kind of hard to pick up on the actual message. I thought
the %s meant that only the message would be sent through notify-send.
Thanks for the help, I'm at least closer than I was to getting it
automated. :)
Thanks,
Storm

Just for simplicity to see if it would work, I did approximately -z -k'notify-send "%s" &' but nothing ever popped up.That should have worked. Another option is to start Remind using "tkremind", the graphical front-end. It has its own mechanism for popping up timed reminders (using the -z0 server mode). Something like this *should* work for your use-case though, assuming you're using Remind 04.02.04 or later: remind -a '-k:notify-send "%s" &' ~/.reminders The "-a" tells Remind not to print timed reminders immediately. The colon before notify-send tells remind to invoke this command only for background timed reminders; normal reminders will simply be printed to the terminal as usual. There's no way to tell Remind to issue any timed reminders within the next 10 minutes. The "-z -k" choice should have worked too. Don't know why it didn't; perhaps you can run a test against this reminder file: REM AT 23:59 +1440 *1 MSG Ping every minute - %1 which should issue a reminder once a minute. Regards, Dianne.
