Hi, I did just setup some reminders: ...
Now, questions: 1. last four reminders are about the same thing, that happens every 3 months. Can it be written in a smarter way? 2. when I run: remind .reminders to see what's on todays reminders, a process is forked off to background. I found out that if I did remind -f -q ... - there was no process left, but the question is: what is the point of this backend process. what can it do, in what cases it is useful? 3. I plan to setup running remind -z in background, with some command to let me know about when timed events happen plus have a cronjob, that runs daily "remind -f -q .reminders" sending me the list for today. is it sane? am i missing something? how do you run automatic reminders? 4. There is this reminder +1140 - the idea is that it should remind me about a thing that happens on wednesday at 4pm, and it should do so from 9pm on tuesdays. given the setup in #3 - when will be messages sent to me from "remind -z"? at tue/9pm and wed 4pm only? can it be made to send the notifications more often (for example, every hour?) i know that these are very basic questions - i'm just starting to learn remind, and so far i like it a lot.
Quick answers to some of these questions (plus other interesting material) can be found at the following link (it's old but still mostly useful):
