[Remind-Fans] trouble with daemon mode and gxmessage

[Dave Parker]

Hi, I was wondering why the following won't work:

remind -z /home/david/.reminders-popups | gxmessage -buttons "OK:1" -default
"OK" -center -font "serif 12" -fg "#579" -bg white -wrap -title "popup
reminder" -file -

I've also tried this (in single quotes):
remind -z /home/david/.reminders-popups | 'gxmessage -buttons "OK:1"
-default "OK" -center -font "serif 12" -fg "#579" -bg white -wrap -title
"popup reminder" -file -'

I have it in the same bash file as the last example below, and I've also
tried it at the terminal, both with no luck.


this does work at the terminal:
remind -z /home/david/.reminders-popups >> popups_out.txt

this also works - I have it running at startup:
remind -q /home/david/.reminders | gxmessage -buttons "OK:1" -default "OK"
-center -font "serif 12" -fg "#579" -bg white -wrap -title "Today's
reminders" -file -

any suggestions?  I'm running Ubuntu 9.10
Thanks
