I am seeing this and I don't know how helpful or true it is. ,---- From org-notify.el | Get notifications, when there is something to do. Sometimes, you | need a reminder a few days before a deadline, e.g. to buy a | present for a birthday, and then another notification one hour | before to have enough time to choose the right clothes. For | other events, e.g. rolling the dustbin to the roadside once per | week, you probably need another kind of notification strategy. | This package tries to satisfy the various needs. | | In order to activate this package, you must add the following | code into your .emacs: | | (require 'org-notify) | (org-notify-start) | | Example setup: | | (org-notify-add 'appt | '(:time "-1s" :period "20s" :duration 10 | :actions (-message -ding)) | '(:time "15m" :period "2m" :duration 100 | :actions -notify) | '(:time "2h" :period "5m" :actions -message) | '(:time "3d" :actions -email)) | | This means for todo-items with `notify' property set to `appt': 3 | days before deadline, send a reminder-email, 2 hours before | deadline, start to send messages every 5 minutes, then 15 minutes | before deadline, start to pop up notification windows every 2 | minutes. The timeout of the window is set to 100 seconds. | Finally, when deadline is overdue, send messages and make noise." `---- > > > > > --
