REMINDERCHECK can be started from Workbench simply by double clicking its icon. In the icon you can define the database file20 used by REMINDERCHECK with tooltype
You can set the minimum time that has to pass before REMINDERCHECK reminds you again21. Default is to remind every time REMINDERCHECK is run. The interval is set with tooltype
For example, if you set INTERVAL=3, run REMINDERCHECK and it reminds you, then running REMINDERCHECK again within next three hours does nothing.
If you do not use the ability of REMINDERCHECK to run ARexx scripts and commands, you may not want REMINDERCHECK to open RexxSysLib.library at all. In that case include tooltype
Some people run REMINDERCHECK from their user-startup so early that Workbench screen hasn't been opened yet. In that case ReqTools.library can't open its requesters. REMINDERCHECK uses Intuition's standard EasyRequest requester, if you include tooltype
You can specify the maximum number of events in a group requester with tooltype
The default value is 4. The value should be small enough so that the requester will fit the screen.
In a similar way you can specify the maximum width of line in requesters with tooltype
The default value is 30, and it can't be under 19 (because that's the length of the date string).
If you use REMINDERCHECK in your SYS:WBStartup, you should also include tooltype
