[Remind-Fans] auto deleting rem lines after popup

Hi, I currently use this startup script to display my popup reminders
(and I also re-run it when I add a new line to the file):


pkill remind; remind -z '-kgmessage -buttons "OK:1" -default "OK"
-center -font "serif 16" -fg "#46f" -bg "#000000" -fg "#20E834" -wrap
-title "reminder" %s &' ~/Dropbox/MainDocuments/homereminders-popups

it works great.

I have another script (triggered by an autokey hotkey)i use to create
new reminders throughout the day for things I need to remember in 7
minutes, or 45 minutes etc.  and end up with a lot of one-time only
rem lines in the rem file.

What's the best practice to automatically delete reminder popups once
they're dismissed, or is there a method that is commonly used?  My
only thought would be to have a msg and a run statement in  the same
reminder?? (not sure if that's possible)

Anyone solved this already?

thanks,
Dave
