calendar/alarm recommendation

[Adam Fabian]

If you click "options" in the main window, you can run a command when
popping up a reminder, and / or give pipe the output to another
command.  So you could use something like:

mplayer -ao esd /home/blah/alarm.wav

for the command.  I just tried that, and it worked fine.  I wonder if
I could loop it and if the command would terminate when I dismissed
the dialog....

Anyway, good luck.
