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.
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 :-)

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.
Sometimes Mother Earth
Takes an otherworldly bent
Just to remind us
