Integrate APPTs with OSX

Integrate APPTs with OSX

[Marcelo de Moraes Serpa]

Hey list!

Is there a way to integrate org-mode APPT's (emacs APPT system) to
show the reminders using growl or another OSX-like GUI feature? Has
anyone ever done it before?

Thanks,

Marcelo.

If you can get to the feature through the command line, it should be
easy. Look in the FAQ, section "Appointments/Diary", title "How can I
set up automatic reminders based on Org information?" for a pointer to
an old post of mine that uses a simple python script for the GUI features.
There have been similar solutions proposed using zenity and some other more
mainstream things, including one using the Gnome OSD facility (I forget what
it's called). They are all essentially the same, so it should be easy
to adapt them to your purposes. Russell Adams pulled a lot of this information
together into a post:

         http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/5664/focus=5806

and the whole thread might be useful.

HTH,
Nick

There is this post for using gnome zenity for APPT:

   http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.php#sec-3

Then there is growlnotify shell command for calling Growl, and there
is an elisp wrapper if you feel like it (google for something like
growl.el or growlnotify.el).

Replace the zenity part in the first link for growl and it should be
mostly done.

I installed Todochiku and use the following to have it use Growl for
notifications

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; use todochiku for growl notifications of events
(setq org-show-notification-handler
  '(lambda (notification)
    (todochiku-message "org-mode notification" notification
      (todochiku-icon 'emacs))))
#+end_src
