[Remind-Fans] Help with RUN

[John Niendorf]

Hi Folks,

I've been using remind and gxmessage for popup reminders and the system
I am using works pretty well.  That is, as long as I am looking at the
computer.

I would like to add a sound alert to the popup message.  I think this
can be done with the RUN command, but I can't seem to get things in the
correct order.

How should I write my timed reminder to have both the sound and popup
appear?  I've tried:

REM 2014-12-03 AT 13:51 RUN MSG Test aplay /home/john/MySounds/DQ.wav
but as expected that only added the aplay command as part of the message
text.

I also tried:

REM 2014-12-03 AT 13:51 RUN aplay /home/john/MySounds/DQ.wav MSG Test
but that gave me the sound without any popup.

So my question is how should I format the reminder to get both the sound
and popup?

Thank you,

John
