Hi All,
Maybe someone can clarify this for me. ( I hope anyway)
I've read many web pages on how to write reminders using remind and the
addon wxremalert but don't find an answer to my question.
I need to do something on Monday, but I want a popup to remind me every so
often (say once an hour) for a few days before Monday and then not remind me
after Monday.
The problem I'm having is getting the once an hour popup to work. Both
popups work if I type rem into the terminal. I've checked and remind is
running in daemon mode.
I've tried
Code:
REM 15 Jan 2011 UNTIL Jan 18 2011 *1 RUN wxremalert -d1 % TEST% %
and
Code:
REM 15 January 2011 *1 UNTIL 18 January 2011 AT 12:00 +4320 *1 RUN
wxremalert -d1 % TEST2 %
The +4320 is supposed to be the number of minutes 3 days before noon on Jan
18 and the *1 is supposed to trigger a popup once a minute.
Does anyone have experience with this? I'd really appreciate any help.
Thank you,
John Niendorf
