The commentary at the top of notify.el says: ,---- | ;; This provides a single function, `notify', that will produce a notify | ;; pop-up via D-Bus, libnotify, simple message or growl. | ;; To use, just put (autoload 'notify "notify" "Notify TITLE, BODY.") | ;; in your init file. You may override default chosen notification | ;; method by assigning `notify-method' to one of 'notify-via-dbus | ;; 'notify-via-libnotify or 'notify-via-message `---- Does that help? You probably need to set notify-method to something reasonable for your platform. BTW, completely untested. There are also some relevant answers in the FAQ: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#Appointments/Diary http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#automatic-reminders -- Nick
