This is probably deeper than most want to go, but remind is really a
scriptable lanuage to manipulate date related data. Below is a short
script to make the number of days shown configurable, to make the
starting date configurable, and to massage the output a little:
#!/bin/bash
# File with remind data in it.
in_file=/usr/share/remind/hals-stuff
# These two can be overridden on command line with -s and -n respectively
start=0
num_days=10
# Parse command line, look for over-rides
for i in "$@";do
case $i in
-n)
[ -n "$2" ] && num_days=$2 && shift
shift
;;
-s)
[ -n "$2" ] && start=$2 && shift
shift
;;
esac
done
# Generate the reminders within the specified time period
remind=$(
for i in $(seq $start $num_days);do
remind $in_file \
`(echo 'banner %'; \
echo 'msg [trigger(today()+'$i')]' ) |\
remind - `
done
)
# Clean up output, make it pretty, spit it out.
echo "$remind" |grep -v "No reminders" |grep -v "^$" |sed -r 's/Reminders for /\n\*/'
# eof
This generates output like:
*Monday, 12th May, 2008:
Staff meeting, 3:00
Dentist 4:00
*Tuesday, 13th May, 2008:
PNK Meeting 7:30
Lunch w/ Jerry V.
Lilly's birthday
