Howdy, This worked brilliantly, thank you. It also got me to thinking, is there a way to run a command that is not spoken as part of the reminder?
For example, I have a meeting on jitsi at 4:00PM on Friday, so I add my reminder, can I also add the link, https://meet.git.si/... and then when the reminder is sent to notifications, it would say "meeting on Jitsi", and use xclip to place the link in the clipboard? I did see the run parameter, but would it require a second entry? Thanks, Storm On Sun, Sep 17, 2023 at 10:20:34AM -0400, Remind Fans wrote:

TK is not accessible at all with it, so I have to do everything by hand.Ah, got it.I'm guessing I would add remind -k to cron, but in this case, how would I make it not speak the reminders that are on the same day but have either already passed, or are still in the future by more than 5 minutes? For example, it's 10:30AM on Monday, so I don't want the 9:25AM reminder. I also have a second one for 5:00PM, and I don't really need to know about it until 4:55PM.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.
