Remind.rexx by Don Nafis
-------------------------
Since NazCron detaches itself from the CLI, it is not a simple task to send
reminders to a user, one of the more useful functions of a timer program of
this type. To help remedy the situation, I've written this ARexx script
that may be executed from NazCron to send reminders, as well as speak them
in AmigaVoice. While the script works well from NazCron, it is not limited
to NazCron use. You can execute it from any ARexx or Execute script
(directly from the CLI if you wish).
Usage:
rx remind message
where:
message = any ascii text message that can fit across the screen.
example:
rx remind This is a reminder message.
The syntax is the same for NazCron use as well. Here are some suggestions
for using remind.rexx from NazCron:
0-5 18 * * 1-5 rx remind It's OK to use P C Pursuit and People Link.
0-5 19 * * 1-5 rx remind It's Ok to call BIX.
29-30 18 * * 1-5 rx remind Time for Cheers on Channel twenty nine.
If you make improvements to this script, I'd love to hear about them.
