Usage

PALM-DATEBOOK-REMINDERS [options]

Overview

palm-datebook-reminders reads a Palm Datebook database and prints out a list of events in the near future in a reasonably easy to read format.

Immiment events (ones in approximately the next 48 hours by default) are listed with complete item text. Forthcoming events (approximately the next 4 weeks by default) are listed in summary form.

Options

imminent/forthcoming | -timminent/forthcoming

Specifies that imminent and forthcoming events are ones within the next immiment and forthcoming seconds, respectively.

filename | -ffilename

Reads the file filename instead of ./DatebookDB.pdb. If the bare form is used, filename must start with a . or / (dot or slash).

Files

DatebookDB.pdb

Default input file.
