If you have the very latest version of Remind, then running the following command when you log in (maybe from your .bashrc file) should do the trick: remind -z '-k:notify-send %s &' ~/.reminders < /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1 & The "-k:" option will run notify-send, but the colon means to run it only when queued reminders are issued, not when Remind first starts up. The redirection to/from /dev/null disconnects Remind from your terminal so it'll keep running in the background. The -z option makes Remind run in daemon mode. If you want advance warning, use a delta in your reminder. For example: REM Mon Tue Wed Thu AT 9:25 +5 MSG Clock in %2. will trigger at 9:20 and 9:25. Regards, Dianne.
