Hi,
What do you guys use for a simple appointment or reminder manager? Nothing fancy; I'd like to input a date/time and get a popup or an email some time ahead that the appointment is up.
Integration in email or some other personal information manager is not needed; in fact, I would prefer a standalone application since I use Emacs for mail and actually manage my appointments on another system. It's just that I don't want to forget the next telecon when I'm deeply buried in work. ;-) I.e., Evolution or Kontact are too heavy for my taste.
iCal object support would be nice, but is not a must. I would prefer a GUI, but that is neither a showstopper.
Up to now, I have used plan (http://www.bitrot.de/plan.html) for that task, but that has been thrown out of SUSE for some time. Before I install it manually again on a new system, I'd like to get some opinion about potential substitute applications.
Thanks in advance for any opinions,
Joachim I am using Kalarm, it has a lot of flexability in that it will give you an alarm, send email or execute a program of your choosing. The author has been quite supportive too. Years ago I just used the ascii based calendar reminder service that used to be on Unix systems and also available on Linux. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
