Does anyone have a reminder program which runs as a system daemon?  All
of the programs I have seen require the user to run them in order to get
reminders.

It also should be able to send multiline messages through the mail or
directly to the terminal if the user is logged in.  Programs like calendar
or rs are capable of sending only one line and do not have a facility
for writing to the terminal (unless the user himself runs them).

In case anyone is familiar with it, the program I am trying to duplicate
is the REMIND program from Tops-20.  Users add reminders to a system wide
database and an operator job runs as REMDAE to send the reminders.

		Thanks,
