Subject: [Remind-Fans] Showing timed reminders from command line
Message-ID:<[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
The following form of the rem command is convenient for viewing upcoming
reminders. But it doesn't display timed reminders, at least not
consistently. Is there a way of forcing it to display timed reminders?
rem -g -a

rem -g -a
You probably don't want -a, but do want -q:
rem -g -q
If you use -q and -a, then you only get timed reminders whose
time is in the future. If you leave out -a, you get all timed
reminders.
You *always* want -q. Otherwise, remind will fork itself into
the background to handle not-yet-expired timed reminders. You
may discover lots of running "rem" processes you didn't know about!
Regards,
David.

I find that
"remind -q" lists all timed reminders for today, but neither
"remind -q -a" nor "remind -a -q" gives anything at all (and there is a
future reminder there)
is this something only in recent versions and maybe I need to update?

Could you post an example of a REM line you expect to see but don't?

I don't know... you didn't say what version you're running. :)
(But probably not version-related... this part of Remind has not changed
in a very long time.)

David.

david@david-Dell-DXP051:~$ remind -q
/home/david/Dropbox/scripts/bash/workreminders-popups
Reminders for Wednesday, 11th January, 2012 (today):
(a bunch of other stuff)
testing
david@david-Dell-DXP051:~$ remind -a -q
/home/david/Dropbox/scripts/bash/workreminders-popups
No reminders.
david@david-Dell-DXP051:~$
( same result with "-q -a" )
and the REM line is this:
REM 11 Jan 2012 AT 13:52 MSG testing
version is 3.01.05-2

No reminders.

And... that's right. I don't understand what you're expecting.
The -a will suppress timed reminders and leaving off the -a will not.
Please see the man page.

David.

oh sorry, I must have misread the thread - I'd thought there was a
possibility to see all the future timed reminders for today excluding the
ones that have already passed. My mistake.

Ah, I see. That is a pretty useful option... maybe I'll add it.

David.
