So, the way I currently use remind is run it as "remind ~/.remind" in my .bash_profile. It reminds me of deadlines and events at any login shell, so that I don't forget about them (and also so they are fast to access). This works well, as it is quick to load and doesn't contribute significantly to the login time at e.g. a Terminal window or SSH connection. The problem comes because I now use org-mode agenda to schedule everything, so I have to enter upcoming events twice -- once in my agenda files, and once in ~/.remind. As such, I thought I could improve my workflow by just printing the emacs agenda instead of running remind -- but this is slow. I also tried with emacsclient, but that didn't improve it any. > No, this is not possible.
