# rem(1)

Invoke Remind with a default filename

## NAME

rem - Invoke Remind with a default filename

## SYNOPSIS

**rem \[*options*\] \[*date*\] \[*\*rep*\] \[*time*\]**

## DESCRIPTION

**rem** is a symbolic link to **remind**.  When **remind** determines that it has been invoked as **rem**, it uses a default filename rather than expecting a filename to be supplied on the command line.

If the environment variable DOTREMINDERS is set, **remind** uses the value of DOTREMINDERS as the filename.  Otherwise, **remind** uses the filename $HOME/.reminders
