Hi, I am looking for a linux console terminal "blow a horn and flash a message on the screen" X-less solution.
After days of studying the man page, the forum archives, and lots and lots of googling, the only examples I found are for (g)xmessage, ie, http://lists.whatexit.org/mailman/private/remind-fans/2007/001320.html, http://www.groupsrv.com/linux/about33819.html, which work fine on my ubuntu desktop. However my ultra portable asus eee only has a minimal debian sarge install, plus just a few cli apps; without x-window bloat it now boots in just 17 seconds. But no feasible solutions so far. I am relatively new to bash, vim, screen, etc, but am willing to learn. I recently discovered remind because of my attention deficit disorder. Exploring gtd on the command line, led me to discover the joys of its seemingly limitless, mind-boggling possibilities; hours and hours of time wasting fun exploring its potential to help me get things done. Gosh. Wow. Help? David __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo!
