This will issue a reminder only in years that are a multiple of 5:

REM 6 June SATISFY [($Ty % 5) == 0] MSG Every 5 years!

If your version of remind fails to evaluate $Ty, it's old and you
should use this instead:

REM 6 June SATISFY [(year(trigdate()) % 5) == 0] MSG Every 5 years!

Adjust the 0 to 1, 2, 3, or 4 as required.

Dianne.
