Description 

Plan displays a month calendar similar to xcal, except that every day box is large enough to show appointments (in small print). Appointments can be associated with the following information: date, time and length (in time or days); an optional text message to be printed; an optional script to be executed; early-warn and late-warn triggers that precede the alarm time; repetitions (every nth day, etc.); optional fast command-line appointment entry; flexible ways to specify holidays and vacations; extensive context help; multiuser capability using an IP server program (plan-server with access lists); and grouping of appointments into files, per-user, private and others. Plan can be connected (with additional software) to Apple Newton and PalmPilot PDAs. You'll need either Motif or LessTif in order to use Plan.

Review: 

Taglog allows you to record how you spend your time, and allows you to turn those records into a report that's suitable for booking and planning.

You can make detailed notes about what you do as you go along, and then search those notes by date or by project and turn them into a report on the history of a particular project.

You can enter actions into a To-do list, log the progress of each action, and then mark them as completed or aborted.

Comments 

For journal log and report, not for alarming.

1st choice from comp.windows.x.apps FAQ. It is the "classic" calendar app with memos and alarms, xcal normally sits idle and displays the date. When clicked on, pops up a `strip' for this month. Clicking on a day allows you to enter details. Automatically parses times entered, and reminds you 5 minutes before your appointment.

Info 

Description 

Ical provides an X interface for maintaining a calendar. A calendar is basically just a set of items. An item is either an appointment, or a notice. An appointment starts at a particular time of the day, and finishes at a particular time of the day. A notice does not have any starting or ending time. Notices are useful for marking certain days as special. For example, a calendar may contain a notice for April 15th indicating that taxes are due. When the documentation below refers to an item, it applies both to notices and appointments.

Features 

The main features of ical are:

• Items can be created and edited easily.

• Items can be cut, copied and pasted.

• Items can be made to repeat in various ways.

• Ical will generate alarms for upcoming appointments.

• Users can view many calendars at a time.

• Calendars can be shared by many users.

• Related items can be grouped in their own calendar.

Source 

Ical used to be developed by Sanjay Ghemawat. However, the links above are all dead. There does not seem to exist a mailing list for the development of the program, nor a central CVS/distribution site.

After it's installed, create an empty file called: $HOME/.reminders and type tkremind for a nice easy introduction to Remind.

xalarm is an interactive alarm clock for the X(1) Window System, and is analogous to a combination of leave(1) and calendar(1), but much more powerful. You can set the alarm either on the command line or by using the popup window. At the appropriate time and date, xalarm pops up a window to tell you that your time is up. The time the alarm is to trigger may be a specific time or a time for xalarm to wait before triggering. The date may be a specific date or a number of days in the future.

all except "Buzzer Electronic Notebook" are not of my interest. But "Buzzer Electronic Notebook" requires a rarely used toolkit JX. Anyway, there's an email client, data statistic & ploter written above it. So worth while to check out.

Buzzer Electronic Notebook is a note and to-do organizer for X.

> Anyone know what causes Star Office to access my hard drive every
> few seconds and how to make it stop that?

When I loaded Star Office (just recently), it had a long warning at the beginning of the setup listing several things to do. I imagine that a lot of people ignored this message. One of the things it said was to set the environment variable "STAR_SPOOL_DIR" to equal "/tmp". In the bash shell that would be:

export STAR_SPOOL_DIR=/tmp

You might try this if you didn't do it during SO setup. I hope this helps.
