[Remind-Fans] Calculate timediff to next occuring timed event

Hello remind fans,

I guess it's not a truely remind issue I have, but maybe anybody
can help me out here.

I'm just started using remind and wydr and I already love what the
developers gave me with such less resource consumtion. I'm using it
on a Linux based PDA from Sharp (Zaurus).

When the PDA goes into apm suspend mode I would like to start a
script which calculates the timediff till the next occuring timed
event from remind. Than this time will be used for apmsleep +time.
The PDA will resume just before the remind event occures and will do
whatever I've specified at the RUN command.

Does anybody has a hint, how to parse the time for the next occuring
event? To calculate the timediff between now and the event will be
other scripting stuff I guess.

  Thanks,

  Oliver
