unforgotten

Fight against your forgetfulness with a small bash script!

This script helps you remembering periodical dates like birthdays, (wedding) anniversary or anything like this. All you need is a configured mail server and the BSD tool calendar (most likely installed on your system). Just set up a file with all your important dates (check out syntax restriction in man-page), here is a small example:

LANG=utf-8
#include <calendar.german>

01/01	happy new year
10/17	uschy
Oct 27	martin
Nov. 28	anybody else

Now replace the contents of the variables in the script and create a cronjob that runs the file once a day. So you’ll probably don’t miss further birthdays anymore!
