How can I get Remind to generate a Notify-send popup at startup?

(1/1)

linuxlite99:
I actually meant the Remind calendar program. I would like it to popup all my reminders for the day at startup. I know it can do time reminders with gxmessage as follows: remind -z -k'gxmessage -title "reminder" %s &' ~/.reminders &. But I would like to use notify-send instead of gxmessage.

Jerry:
Open a terminal and do:


--- Code: ---leafpad /home/user/.config/reminder.sh
--- End code ---

replace user with your username.

add the following to the file:


--- Code: ---#!/bin/bash
sleep 3
echo "This is my reminder" | xargs -0 notify-send
--- End code ---

save and close the file.
Then in the same terminal do:


--- Code: ---chmod +x /home/user/.config/reminder.sh
--- End code ---

replace user with your username.
Then do Menu, Settings, Session and Startup, Application Autostart tab.
Click on +Add in Name and Description put My Reminder in Command put:


--- Code: ---sh /home/user/.config/reminder.sh
--- End code ---

click Ok, then Close.
