Usage

Overview

Email-reminder allows users to define events that they want to be reminded of by email. Possible events include birthdays, anniversaries and yearly events. Reminders can be sent on the day of the event and a few days beforehand.

This script is meant to be invoked everyday by a cron job. It mails the actual reminders out.

When run by the root user, it processes all of the spooled reminders. When run by a specific user, it only processes reminders set by that user.
