## DESCRIPTION

The **ireminder** script is written in perl and is meant to be a simplistic wrapper to call and process the 'ipraytime' application.  **ireminder** is used to remind the user via audio indicators of an impending Islamic prayer event.

## OPTIONS

Some of the options within **ireminder** allow for list inputs, those are meant to be a quoted series of text/numbers.

- **-ipraytime *path***

  Specify the path to the ipraytime executable.  Unless this options is specified, the script will default to look for the binary in /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin and the current directory.

- **-skip *event\_name***

  Specify name of prayer/event to skip, valid options include "imsaak fajr shorooq zuhr asr maghrib isha" (list ok).

- **-reminder *minutes***

  Specify prior to how many minutes to remind (list ok).

- **-inplace**

  Specify to print output in-place (without scrolling).

- **-execr *cmd***

  Specify an external application trigger for reminders.  The %m directive is recognized and is substituted with the normal output message or string.  The %s directive is recognized and is substituted by the salat's name.

- **-execs *cmd***

  Specify an external application trigger for when the salat reaches its appointed time (ie. "salat now").  The %m directive is recognized and is substituted with the normal output message or string.  The %s directive is recognized and is substituted by the salat's name.

- **-help**

  Produce a help screen.

## EXAMPLES

- Here is an example of using **ireminder** to display a message prayer time, ignoring imsaak and shorooq:

  ```
  ireminder -skip "imsaak shorooq" -execs "notify-send -t 1000000 \"Ireminder\" \"It is time for %s.\"" &
  ```

- Another Example:

  ```
  ireminder -execr "xmessage %m" -execs "xmessage %m"
