I know how to use at. The issue is that at does not do what I want, at least not with a convenient interface. You cannot see from a glance at atq's output how much time remains until each event is to occur. at would make a fine backend for a full-featured reminder tool, but it is not one. > > and doesn't understand any unit smaller than 1 minute. > > what about sleep 42 && do nice work ? No status display. And don't say "ps". And yes, I could write a script to do some of this. But a real UI would be superior. -- - mdz
