✨ IREMINDER(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to ireminder 💖 the manual page, the whole vibe, everything. it's a User Command, it's iconic, and it's about to remind you that prayer time is coming. let's go 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ireminder — Prayer time reminder 🕌✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ireminder [-ipraytime path] [-skip event_name] [-reminder minutes]
[-inplace] [-execr cmd] [-execs cmd] [-help]

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the ireminder script? it's written in perl 🐪 and honestly its whole personality is being a simplistic wrapper — like, it calls and processes the ipraytime application and that's its job, no cap. ireminder exists to remind the user, via audio indicators 🔔, that an Islamic prayer event is about to happen. it's giving thoughtful. it's giving "your bestie has your back." periodt 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

quick heads up before we dive in: some of the options in ireminder take list inputs 📝 and those ones want a quoted series of text/numbers. like, quote it. fr fr.

  • -ipraytime path — point this at the path of the ipraytime executable. and if you don't? no worries, the script will just default to hunting for the binary in /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin and the current directory 🕵️‍♀️✨
  • -skip event_name — tell it which prayer/event to skip. the valid options are "imsaak fajr shorooq zuhr asr maghrib isha" (list ok 🫶).
  • -reminder minutes — how many minutes before the thing do you want to be reminded? that's what this is. (list ok 💖).
  • -inplace — prints the output in-place, meaning no scrolling. everything stays put. so satisfying honestly 😌
  • -execr cmd — set up an external application trigger for reminders. the %m directive is recognized here and gets substituted with the normal output message or string, and the %s directive is recognized too — it gets substituted by the salat's name 🕌
  • -execs cmd — same deal but for when the salat actually reaches its appointed time (ie. "salat now") ⏰. the %m directive is recognized and substituted with the normal output message or string, and the %s directive is recognized and substituted by the salat's name.
  • -help — produce a help screen. your little safety net, bestie 🫂

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

okay here's an example of using ireminder to display a message prayer time while 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"
