REMIND version 3.0 for UNIX
1 - Read the file COPYRIGHT.
2- Before compiling the software, check to see if it includes patches.
These are files called patch.xx. If there are patches, apply them all
by typing:
cat patch.* | patch
3 - Examine the Makefile and change any parameters which need to be
changed for your system. As it stands, the Makefile is set up for a
BSD system.
4 - Examine the file config.h and adjust parameters as needed
5 - Type 'make'
6 - Type 'test-rem' to run the acceptance test
7 - Copy the remind executable to the appropriate directory, and copy
the man page to the man directory.
Two shell scripts, "remind-all.csh" and "remind-all.sh" are provided.
These allow automatic mailing of reminders to all users who create a
$HOME/.reminders file. These two scripts are equivalent; one is a
"sh" script and the other is a "csh" script. Pick the one you want to
use, and follow the instructions in the opening comments of the
script.
*** NOTE *** Please be aware that "remind-all.csh" and "remind-all.sh"
have been changed since the last release of Remind. If you install
the new remind executable, make sure you switch over to the new
"remind-all" scripts.
A shell script called "rem" is provided for those who like to have
'remind' assume a default reminders file. A man page for this script
is provided. You should examine the script to ensure that the defaults
are correct.
A shell script called "kall" is provided so you can kill your background
remind processes when you log out. See the man page. Note that kall
depends on the output of "ps", and may not be portable.
