Does anyone have any suggestions? at(1) works okay for me, along with a "mailnote" script which sends a one-liner to my inbox or cell phone. For example: > at 2:30pm mailnote meeting at 3pm You might want wrappers to organize things the way you like. I have one to reorganize atq and at -c output so I can read my upcoming notes or make sure the date is right on a job. A few times I've seen "at 9am tomorrow" turned into 9am two days from now, so it is definitely funky. -- David Brinegar http://brinegar-computing.com
