Due reminder (via desktop notification) about tsk HOT 10 CLOSED

Hey @dyuri, I've implemented the cron jobs, could you please help me to test it out on your Linux machine?

from tsk.

It basically works:

And for initial notify support it's fine, but it might be improved by storing the last notification time for each task, so notifications won't be lost (but only late), if the computer was off/sleeping for a time.

... and reminder stop removes the crontab entry.

Thanks for opening this issue.

Do you mean crontab in UNIX? Because I've tried to use cron in Golang and it requires a blocking process.

from tsk.

Yep, the standard linux/unix crond, or anything else that can schedule commands. And yes, I think tsk should avoid to become a blocking/continuously running process.

from tsk.

Yeah let's use crontab.

As for the desktop notification part, based on my research:

• Mac:
  • osascript (easy to implement but unable to customize app icon)
  • terminal-notifier
• Windows:
  • Powershell
• Linux:
  • notify-send

What do you think?

from tsk.

I'm using Linux for ages, so don't have experience with Mac/Win. For Linux notify-send works, and dbus can be used as well.
I just found this: https://github.com/gen2brain/beeep - seems to support the ones mentioned + some fallbacks.

Looks cool, let me try it out

from tsk.

Good to see that! I saw that you are triggering it using tsk notify command, did you try tsk reminder start to see if the cron job works?

from tsk.

yep, that works as well:

$ crontab -l
* * * * * /home/dyuri/egyeb/prog/go/bin/tsk notify
