Remind: the calendar and todolist of the command line

After getting used to vi, I want to perform everything vi. I have used various task management software, including Outlook, KOrganiser, and Evolution. I have tried todotxt and Dev recommended on this site.

After getting used to vi, I want to perform everything vi. I have used various task management software, including Outlook, KOrganiser, and Evolution. I have tried todo.txt and Dev Todo recommended on this site, I also tried tdl for a week, but it was not satisfactory (tdl is relatively good, but I cannot find the answer to a question, that is, I cannot view the schedule of the specified date, I am very grateful to anyone who knows this.) I tried the Remind recommended by students who wanted to give it a try!

As mentioned in vi above, Remind is a tool that can be used to edit your todo list. My favorite feature of Remind is that its database is a text file, which is easy to understand, however, the feature is powerful and the application is flexible, which is also in line with the spirit of Linux.

Next, let's talk about my unique application. Remind is a calendar tool, not a todo tool. (correct me if you are not talking about it. I am just using it, and there are many things to explore ), its date can be specified in a variety of ways and can be set to a variety of specific time, but it seems that there is no function to manage todo items, in fact, as long as a little change can be achieved.

My method is to create a folder named rem, and then create several. rem File (Remind data file), such as birthdays. rem, item1.rem, item2.rem, and todos. rem .. Rem files are text files that can be created and edited using vi and Emacs.

Todo. rem is a general daily transaction. item1 and item2 represent a specific project. after the project is completed, you can remove or delete the file and run the following command:

$ Remind.

You can process all eligible projects in this folder.

The Remind command format is as follows:

REM Mar 11 2009 MSG feed friend's dog.

On March 13, March 11, 2009, "feed friend's dog." will be displayed. but how can I hide the prompt after the dog is fed? You can add a # sign to vi in this sentence. # is interpreted as a comment by Remind.

If you forget to feed the dog, The Remind will not Remind you the next day. the friend's dog will starve to death. you can write it:

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

From January 1, March 11, Remind will Remind you every day until you comment it out.

If you want to feed for three consecutive days, you can write it:

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

If you feed the service once the next day within four days, you can write it as follows:

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