This article mainly introduces the use of Remind in linux, has a certain reference value, interested friends can refer to, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, the following let the editor take you to understand it.

Remind is a tool that allows you to edit your todo list with vi. My favorite feature of Remind is that its database is a text file, easy to understand, but powerful, flexible application! This is also in line with the spirit of Linux.

Let's talk about my unique application. Remind is a calendar tool, not a todo tool. (correct me, I just used it, and I still have a lot to discover). It can specify dates in a variety of ways, and can set a variety of specific times. However, it seems that there is no function to manage todo events. In fact, it can be achieved with a little modification.

My method is to create a special folder, named rem, and then create several .rem files (Remind data files) under that folder, such as birthdays.rem, item1.rem, item2.rem, todos.rem. The .rem file is a text file that can be created and edited with vi or Emacs.

Todo.rem is a general routine. Item1 and item2 represent specific projects. Just remove or delete the file after the project is completed. Then use the command:

$remind.

You can handle all eligible items in this folder.

Let's talk about how to manage todo events. The Remind command format is as follows:

REM Mar 11 2009 MSG feed friend's dog.

Then on March 11, 2009, it will prompt "feed friend's dog." but after feeding the dog, how do you hide the hint? It is OK to use vi to add a # sign to this sentence, which is understood as a comment by Remind.

If you forget to feed your dog, Remind won't remind you the next day that your friend's dog is going to starve to death.

REM Mar 11 2009 * 1 MSG feed friend's dog.

Then from March 11, Remind will remind you every day until you comment it out.

If you want to feed for 3 days in a row, you can write:

REM Mar 11 2009 * 1 UNTIL Mar 13 2009 MSG feed friend's dog.

If you feed it every other day within 4 days, it can be written as:

REM Mar 11 2009 * 2 UNTIL Mar 14 2009 MSG feed friend's dog
