That was a quick response. :) So I put this in my .xinitrc: rem -qa -k'xmessage -title Reminder %s&' rem -z -k'xmessage -title Reminder %s&'& I think it'll satisfy my needs. Perhaps I need a sleep in front of the first line, I don't know yet. Anyway... Just one thing: I can't get the ONCE keyword to work: %grep Casper .reminders rem once 22 feb msg Casper's birthday %touch .reminders %rem -qa No reminders. If I remove 'once' from .reminders, it'll remind me: %rem -qa Reminders for Friday, 22nd February, 2008 (today): Casper's birthday Regards, Lars _______________________________________________ Remind-fans mailing list [email protected] http://lists.whatexit.org/mailman/listinfo/remind-fans
