You can use the "-k" command-line option (but that would apply to all
reminders, not just timed reminders.)

If you use TkRemind, you can use Options... and set
"Run command when popping up reminder" to something useful.  I have
a script called notify-reminder.pl that looks like this:

  #!/usr/bin/perl
  use strict;
  use warnings;

  my $stuff;
  {
      local $/;
      $stuff = <STDIN>;
  }

  system 'notify-send', $stuff;
  exec('ircnotify', '-nick', 'remind', "Type=Reminder; Body=$stuff");

(ircnotify is a script I wrote, but you can see where I invoke notify-send
above.)

Dianne.
