What are good ways of setting up alarms for Deadlines and Scheduling in org-mode to integrate with Windows or GNU/Linux environments?
Thanks,
Matt

appt in emacs can do a bunch and is integrated. i use it.
there are various notify programs that i have not gotten to work.
i use crontab updated in a single babel block to run ddccontrol and
redshift. this is useful for executive function. you make the screen
unusable until you have taken medicine or whatever. then you turn off
the monitor with ddccontrol so that its backlight doesn't further
disrupt your melatonin. [no amount of dimming achieves that with
today's panel tech at my monitor size.]

I use the following on Linux and it works very well. Relies on there
being a notification daemon running (I use dunst as the easiest to
configure).
