- Main article: Remind
Ical2Rem
A script to convert from the iCal / ICS format the format used by Remind. It converts the calendar entries as well as the To Do items. It uses the Due Date as the Remind date, or the current date if there's no Due date.
A Subversion repository will be available soon for "official" versions. Version 0.5.1, as of 2007-03-23, is available at the author's site.
Example uses:
cat /path/to/my/other_file.ics | ical2rem.pl >~/.ical2rem
Or process a remote file, such as one from Google calendar:
wget -q -O- http://path.com/to/my/google.ics | ical2rem.pl --label "Gcal" >~/.ical2rem
You may wish to make a cron entry to automate this:
0-59/15 * * * * cat /path/to/my/other_file.ics | ical2rem.pl >~/.ical2rem
In the ~/.reminders file, include the new file:
INCLUDE ./.ical2rem
Installation
Download the script from Github; the script should be placed
in a "bin" directory in your executable path. /usr/local/bin/ or ~/bin are good
candidates. You may need to install some Perl modules first. Try cpan -i iCal::Parser DateTime
as root. If that doesn't work, consult general documentation for installing Perl modules.
