Console reminderConsole reminderPosted Mar 10, 2004 3:00 UTC (Wed) by felixfix (subscriber, #242)Parent article: A grumpy editor's calendar search I have used a program called remind for years. I use it in the console mode only, I have tried the tk front end out of curiousity but don't remember much about it. Try this URL: http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/remind/ I have no idea how it compares to iCal or Xcal. It does everything I want ... periodic reminders, one shot. I run it out of crontab once a day, on every login, it has never failed me. Simple text file for reminders. Handles the Hebrew calendar too.

Remind: Kitchen-sink for hard-core Unixers... Posted Mar 11, 2004 13:17 UTC (Thu) by dskoll (subscriber, #1630) [Link] :-)I'm the author of Remind. I started it back in 1990 when I didn't want to work on my Master's thesis. Remind is *not* for everyone. If you're expecting a pretty clicky GUI, forget it. (Well, not quite; there is a Tcl/Tk GUI front-end which is quite nice and usable.) If you like to edit text-based configurations and sit back smugly in the knowledge that Remind's calendar language can express "Meeting every second Thursday of the month except if there's a full moon, in which case move it to the first Friday of the month", or "Payroll on last working day of the month", then Remind is for you. :-) Remind can even calculate "blue moons" -- that's the second full moon in a month. Here's a brief taste: ================================================= MSG Next blue moon is [trigger(blue)] The next blue moon is July 31, 2004. http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/remind/
