I tried to include a folder with text files, one of which has a remind statement, and got this error
david@ubuntu1310:~$ remind -z '-kbash /home/david/Dropbox/scripts/yad/msgAndOptns.sh %s &' /home/david/Dropbox/PersonalWiki/data/ & [1] 22657 david@ubuntu1310:~$ /home/david/Dropbox/PersonalWiki/data/: No files matching *.rem Error reading /home/david/Dropbox/PersonalWiki/data/: No files matching *.rem So it looks like in my case (wanting to include a folder of text files instead of a specific text file) it doesn't work without the files being rem files :( On Tue, May 27, 2014 at 1:21 PM, Dave Parker <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you all for the great ideas. > > Two follow up questions: > > 1) I'm not totally familiar with this type of mailing list (more used to > google groups) If I reply normally from my gmail as I'm doing here, does > my reply go to everyone in the list (and is that okay?) or just to the > people that replied to my original question. > > 2) Does everyone here run their computer 24:7?
