If the reminder/event information is dumped to a flat file then any low-impact program could sit in the task-tray/status-bar of each OS and run thru a check-for-file, check-for-reminder-hit, go-to-sleep cycle every minute.

The actual notification process could be tailored for each OS: Growl for OS X, pop-up dialog for Windows, etc

The program could even check to see if chandler is running and if so open a simple connection to give more value-added services.

As for how to start the program, each OS provides an area that if a program is listed it will be started when the user logs into the system.

More specifically, "an area" == ?

- Mac OS X: An entry in ~/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist

- Windows: A "startup items" folder/registry entry?

        C:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

- Linux: ?

        Gnome:  Preferences --> Sessions --> Startup Programs
        KDE:    ~/.kde/Autostart
        X:              .xinitrc
