Hi everyone,
I was looking to set an audible alarm or at least display a message of
some kind.
Google brought me no results, apart from capabilities that are within
Emacs itself, namely the diary & appointments.
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Appointments.html
Can anyone point me to how to do this, if possible at all.
(I'm on windows environment, but interested in Linux too.)
Thanks for your help!
Erwin

The following works for me (yes, I know, I should clean a bit) under Ubuntu at
least.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(require 'org-agenda)
;; Insinuate appt
(require 'appt)
(setq appt-time-msg-list nil)
(org-agenda-to-appt)
;; When use 'r' (rebuild agenda) reload appt
(add-hook 'org-agenda-mode-hook (lambda ()
(setq appt-time-msg-list nil)
(org-agenda-to-appt)))
(setq appt-audible t)
(setq appt-display-format 'echo)
;; turn appointment checking on
(appt-activate 1)
;; time in minutes before an appointment that the warning begins
(setq appt-message-warning-time 15) ; 12
;; number of minutes to wait between checking the appointment list
(setq appt-display-interval 5) ; 3
;; update appt each time agenda opened
(add-hook 'org-finalize-agenda-hook 'org-agenda-to-appt)
(when window-system
(setq appt-display-format 'window)
;; FIXME Check `notify-send' (in `libnotify-bin' Ubuntu package) is installed
(defun rgr/org-display (min-to-app new-time msg)
(shell-command
(concat "notify-send "
"-i /usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/status/appointment-soon.png "
"'Appointment' "
"'" msg "'")))
;; TODO For Windows users: use todochicku.el and the snarl notifier
(setq appt-disp-window-function (function rgr/org-display)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Take what's of use for you from the above.
Best regards,
Seb

Un grand merci!
Big thank you - I'll try this out.

If two (or more) appointments happen to start at the same time then
appt-disp-window-function leads to the following error: “Argtype error in
‘appt-disp-window-function’ - update it for multiple appts?”
A more suited piece of code would be:
(setq appt-disp-window-function
(lambda (min-to-app new-time appt-msg) ; these args could be lists
(or (listp min-to-app)
(setq appt-msg (list appt-msg)))
(dotimes (i (length appt-msg))
(shell-command
(concat "notify-send "
"-i /usr/share/icons/gnome/32x32/status/appointment-soon.png "
"-t 1000 "
"'Appointment' "
"'" (nth i appt-msg) "'")))))
