Thanks David! Yep I looked into the server mode and I don't think the -z option works that well when it comes to putting remind in daemon mode. I was able to kick off growl notifications when I ran remind from the command line but the moment I kicked off remind as a daemon.. I got no notifications at all. So I am not a big fan of running it as a daemon! :) But I suppose you are right in pointing out that I can always have the DAILY activities and the TIMED activities go in separate files and then run remind separately for them.. it might give me more flexibility that way. I still have the problem that I keep getting multiple instances of the SAME message being published to me by GrowlNotify. So say in my previous e-mail I had three timed reminders kicking off at 5 min intervals.. say 1500, 1505 an 1510. Then at say 1505 I see 10 notifications of the very same message... this is annoying to say the least. Any help would be appreciated. I would like to stray away from having to write a script if possible as I think remind with geektools should be apt enough to do the trick.
