Re: installing as non-root...
I installed remind on a Free BSD server in my home directory without root permissions. I seem to recall that it went really smoothly. Wyrd was a little trickier, but I eventually got that to work, too. You just untar http://www.roaringpenguin.com/penguin/remind-03.00.23.tar.gz and run: ./configure --prefix=/home/myhome make make install and it ends up in /home/myhome/bin On Thu, Oct 13, 2005 at 10:09:09PM +0200, Marcus Hedenstedt wrote: > ... can it be done? > > I access the university's Sun-server to get my Centericq and e-mail and > it would be neat to be able to install Remind "locally" on my user. > Can it be done?

REM not working
Could someone please let me know what I need to do to get REM to work from the command line? I can run remind if I type in remind ~/.reminders. I know I'm missing something simple here but can't figure out what I still need to do. I can put reminders in using TKRemind or editing the .reminders file. There must be an easier way to do it and I haven't found the answer in any of the docs yet.

I can run remind if I type in remind ~/.reminders. I I believe you want the accompanying command 'rem'.

Re: REM not working
I believe you want the accompanying command 'rem'. Try:
rem
rem -c
rem -c+1
man rem
rem works. rem -c & man rem work. If I do rem -c +1, I get the help pages for remind. At one point, after I installed it, I could type "remind" and it worked. Now, it wants me to put in an option and point it to my reminders file. I suspect that I need to put something into my startup files but am not sure what I need to do with it.

Re: REM not working
`rem -c+1`, not `rem -c +1` The +1 is part of the 'c' parameter, not a parameter on it's own. were you originally actually typing 'REM' ? Unix is case-sensitive.

Ah, so it was the space. That works! So I can finally try out some of the other commands. I was originally using REM since all the documentation showed it spelled that way and I know that Unix is case-sensitive. I think what was most confusing was that I didn't know that rem is a different program/command. I wasn't aware that it had separate man pages.
Thanks for the help! I can go play with remind now ;)

Overdue Items
Hi, I'm sorry if this is covered elsewhere but I couldn't find it in the documentation or the archives. Let's say that everytime I complete an item or an event passes, I delete it from my reminders list. Now some items like "pay rent" are set to trigger on the 10th of the month with a delta of, let's say 15 days. However, if something should happen and I completely forget about the rent (let's say my computer won't start up for a week, so I'm not getting my daily reminders nor is remind being run at all), I would also like to be reminded on the 11th and 12th and so on, until I delete the item. Is there any way to get remind to include past due reminders? Thanks
