You can also customize the way how the message is presented. The following command configures remind to use xmessage instead of the console: remind -z -k'xmessage -center %s &' Beware that this applies to _all_ messages, not only the one on November 22, 2007 at 11:33. If you'd like to be warned in a special way only for certain events, use the "RUN"-recipe above.
