send reminds produced by remind command via email

Primary LanguagePython

remind-email is a tool to send reminds produced by remind command via email.

How to use

First of all you need to setup SMTP and some other configurations using configuration file. See remind-email.conf file in the current source distribution as an example. remind-email expects the file is to be located at ~/.config/remind-email/remind-email.conf. This behavior can be changed using -c command-line option.

Next step is to create reminder file(s) in ~/.config/remind-email/reminds folder. Files location can be changed using -r command-line option. Multiple files are supported.

Typical scenario is to use cron to call remind-email once per day (e.g. at midnight) to send an email with reminds for the upcoming day.

Examples

Send a reminder email every midnight.
