Reminders

[Graeme Nichols]

Hello Folks,

I am a very contented user of gnucash 1.8. The scheduled transactions
work very well but there is no reminder function for bills as they draw
near to payment date.

To overcome this in a crude, but effective, way I maintain a small text
file containing by upcoming bills, one per line containing payee, amount
and due date.

I have a line at the end of my .bashrc file to cat that file. In this
way I always get a reminder of the bills I have coming up.

The one drawback to this method is that I boot to Gnome and do not get
the reminder unless I open a virtual terminal, which I don't always need
to do.

Is there a way to do this so that when Gnome comes up it then spawns a
virtual terminal automatically or simply cats the file directly to the
desktop?

All help appreciated. TIA.

Graeme.
