Email-Reminder: Email-reminder 0.7.1 Released

What is Email-Reminder?

Email-Reminder allows users to define events for which they want to receive a reminder by email (see sample reminders) either on the day of the event and/or a few days beforehand.

Possible events include:

birthdays
anniversaries
weekly, monthly and yearly events

This program includes a cron job that checks for events and sends reminders once a day, and a simple user interface (see screenshots) to add/modify reminders.

Reminders are either sent to your email account or to certain people directly.

from Google Code (Linux/UNIX source code).

Email-reminder 0.7.1 Released

This version of email-reminder only adds a (somewhat important) warning message when the configuration file (/etc/email-reminder.conf) cannot be read.

Some people reported problems with their settings being ignored and the cause of that problem was that the user running send-reminders didn't have read permissions on the config file.

Users of the Debian and Ubuntu packages are more likely to have run into this problem. Please update your packages to the latest version.
