The "-k" option is a kludge.  To do what you want, you'd really need
to isolate your timed reminders in their own file, and only run that
file with the "-k" option.

If you can hack with a scripting language, you might also want to investigate
the "-z0" option.  This puts Remind in "server mode" in which it runs as
a coprocess, communicating with another program over stdin/stdout.  This
is how TkRemind works; see the SERVER MODE section of the TkRemind man page.
