SEND-REMINDERS(1)

NAME
send-reminders - send email reminders for special occasions

SYNOPSIS
Send email reminders set by users for special-occasion email reminders.

DESCRIPTION
Email-reminder allows users to define events that they want to be reminded of by email. Possible events include birthdays, anniversaries, and yearly events. Reminders can be sent on the day of the event and a few days beforehand.

This script is meant to be invoked every day by a cron job. It mails the actual reminders out.

When run by the root user, it processes all of the spooled reminders. When run by a specific user, it only processes reminders set by that user.
