Need: program similar to anacron.

But: as anacron is active from boot to shutdown I want it to be active only while I am logged into the window system.

No doubt I am able to write this myself. Yet before I start, I would like to be sure it does not exist.

Things I know: #cron, #anacron, #remind, #calendar.

It’s funny how I related to almost all of these.

Wow, that is an epic catalogue of possibilities! Bookmarked, thank you :-)

That said, I'm not thinking I'll put my whole calendar in - only particular reminders, like renewing library books or putting in a wash.

Here in return is my own write-up, from when I originally worked out how to make Remind do what I wanted, namely generating popups at particular times:
https://www.uncharted-worlds.org/blog/2009/04/remind-ubuntu-gmessage/
That was on my older desktop machine on Ubuntu. And I'll probably start by copying those files onto the laptop, although some might want tweaking now.

The reason it's a timely reminder right now is, I had Windows on my laptop till about a week ago (basically because of running Dragon) - and I don't think Remind works on Win, does it? or at least, it used not to - but I just recently took the Windows off the laptop and jumped to LMDE! So I'm in a phase of figuring out what else could be on there now :-)

Remind + Ubuntu + Gmessage

A description of how I used the Remind program to give me some useful pop-up reminders on my PC. Probably only of interest if you might want to run the same program yourself.

The witch in the front row was groovin' out, sometimes dancing on the sidelines with her lap dog dressed as a bee, if the tempo suited. Folks in the audience were singing along
>I'd like to see the world for once all standing hand in hand (in hand)
>and hear them echo through the hills for peace throughout the land
>>That's the song I hear -- what the world needs today...
Stand up, create, put it out there, no matter how small; it matters.

New policy came down at work today requiring password rotations every 84 days, so best to put that on my #remind(1) calendar:

REM Oct 22 2025 *84 \
MSG %"Change Password%"%_\
Open powershell.exe%_\
PS> (New-Object -COM Shell.Application).WindowsSecurity()

FWIW, I have a reminder how to trigger it over remote-desktop because control-alt-delete gets interpreted locally, the alternative control-alt-end doesn't work either (I suspect that's a Windows-RDP-client-specific key chord) and the on-screen-keyboard method didn't work either the last time I tried. But PowerShell can launch the correct dialog. Sometimes you just do what works, even if it's inelegant.

I miss the Unix ability to just type `passwd` and change passwords without folderol.

Hmm, #calcurse or #remind, that is the question. I'm leaning towards the latter.
