The option I use is to use tkremind.  It runs whenever I log in to my
graphical desktop.  If you click on "Options", there are a couple
of relevant options:

"Run command when popping up reminder:"

"Feed popped-up reminder to command's standard input"

I have a Perl script called "notify-reminder.pl" that reads standard
input and speaks the reminder.  You can make your script do whatever you
want.

If you prefer not to use tkremind, you can get a similar effect using
Remind's "-k" option to run an external command whenever a reminder
is issued.

Regards,

Dianne.
