REMINDER - a simple reminder program ver 0.0.5
==============================================

Was written by Alexey Semenov, swaj_@geocities.com, alexey_semenov@hotmail.com.


I've spent a lot of time and tried dozen sheduler/reminder programs but
found no ones suitable for me:

- I don't want to run any other progs on my desktop (especially GUI)
- I want to use usual mail to be informed about events via
- I want to be informed about events when I work on  console
- I don't want to use at command - no reason to create two files for each message
(message itself + script to send it)

So:

1 Installation
==============

- gunzip/tar sources (you has done if you read this file ;))    )
- I suppose you have gcc compiler and /bin/mail program ( look at Makefile/config.h files )
- type  make
	make install
- cp ./reminder.users.tmpl reminder.users and add users which will be use reminder,
  cp ./reminder.users /etc

2. Running
==========

 There're two ways to run reminder:

- as cron task - edit /etc/crontab file and add entry like this:

 ...
0,30 * * * * root [ -x /usr/bin/remd ] && /usr/bin/remd -c
 ...
 
 will perform check messages twice an hour


- as standalone daemon - insert smth. like /usr/bin/remd -d -t3600 to your rc. file
to check messages once an hour

---
  Your are ready to add new events:

 Type remind, answer data questions and put text. Then Ctrl-D/Y. You message wiil be saved into
$HOME/.reminder/YYYY-MM-DD_HH:MM.msg file. File will be emailed you that time and deleted
after then.

That's all. You can copy/distribute/etc this program under GPL license.
There're thinks about GUI frontend to remind program, but I'm too lazy to do it alone.
Let me know if you decide to write that one, maybe I'll join  ;)))
