i currently use org-agenda-to-appt to make emacs make an emacs window
pop up when a timed task shows up.  this works well!

however, for some of these tasks i want to do something in
addition.  i want to run a shell command.

i'd put the shell command in the properties drawer like

#+begin_quote
:PROPERTIES:
:Appt-shell-command: "mycommand whatever whatever"
:END:
#+end_quote

the windows would pop up as normal, but also the shell
command would run.  there woudn't be any change to the
window layout; the shell command would run silently.

can anybody design this?  i have no clue.
