This is Official Patch #3 for Remind 2.3.  You should have Remind 2.3
patch level 2 before applying this patch.

This patch adds the "-f" command-line option, which causes Remind to
handle queued reminders in the foreground.  This is useful for people
who run Remind under Sunview or X-Windows, because it allows your
Remind processes to die automatically when you exit the windowing system.
See the man page for more details.

To apply the patch, change to the Remind source directory, and unshar this
article.  Type 'patch < patch-03' and re-Make and re-install Remind.

Unfortunately, I can't upload the latest version of Remind to
alfred.ccs.carleton.ca anymore.  I'll send a request that it be uploaded,
but I can't make any guarantees.  However, the source is archived in the
comp.sources.misc archive.

X  flag causes \fBremind\fR to go into 'Hush' mode.  In this mode, if no
X  reminders are triggered, nothing will be displayed.  (Normally, \fBremind\fR
X  will display "No reminders." in this case.)
X+ .TP
X+ .B \-f
X+ The
X+ .B \-f
X+ flag causes \fBremind\fR to remain in the foreground when handling queued
X+ AT reminders, rather than forking into the background.  This is useful in
X+ .xinitrc or .suntools scripts, because you can start \fBremind\fR and have
X+ it automatically killed when you exit X-Windows or Sunview.  For example,
X+ in your .xinitrc script, you could have:
X  .PP
X+ .nf
X+     remind -fah $HOME/.reminders > /dev/null 2>&1 &
X+ .fi
X+ .PP
X+ .RS
X+ Presumably, your .reminders script will contain RUN-type reminders for
X+ popping windows onto the X-Windows display.  When you exit X-Windows,
X+ the \fBremind\fR process will be killed.
