[Remind-Fans] OMIT Weekends...

[Shibu Narayanan]

Thanks Diane for your reply.
My current setup emails me the output of the remind program. Somehow, the error is not appearing in the email.  Will need to have a workaround.

I am aware of this option
REM Mar 7 +1 OMIT SAT SUN MSG my reminder

But my query was how to have the "OMIT SAT SUN" as a global setting, so that I do not have to specify it for every Reminder.

I assume you've decided you can safely ignore the error message?

-stdin-(1): Unknown token: `Sat,Sun' (OMIT)

REM Mar 7 +1 OMIT SAT SUN MSG my reminder

However, it'll still be sent out on Saturday and Sunday as well.  So you should also put this in your reminder file right at the beginning:

IFTRIG Sat Sun
    # Don't bother me on weekends
    EXIT
ENDIF


Regards,

Dianne.
