It's not just for choosing the azan player, but the whole command should be customizable by the user (using the -exec option). This would allow a user to be reminded in any form he wants. Whether it's an azan being played, or a message box, or the background going red, etc. To elaborate a bit, I'm looking for a solution that would make all the following commands possible: ireminder -exec "mplayer Azan.mp3" Or ireminder -exec "/bin/echo now is the time of %s" Or ireminder -exec "xmessage 'Time for %s.'" Or any other command that the user chooses for a reminder. If a user includes an '%s' in the -exec argument, that '%s' would be replaced by the prayer name before running the command. if not, just execute the command. Maybe the time of the prayer should also have it's own variable, like '%t' for example. I don't know perl, but from the looks of it, it shouldn't be hard to implement this functionality.
