Installation
------------
Here is the preferred way of installing Email-Reminder:
1- Run "perl Makefile.pl" to generate the Makefile.
2- Run "make install" as root to install all program files.
3- Set up a cron job so that the "collect-reminders" and "send-reminders"
scripts are run everyday. Under Debian, this is done by putting the
following shell script under /etc/cron.daily/:
#!/bin/sh
COLLECT_SCRIPT=/usr/sbin/collect-reminders
SEND_SCRIPT=/usr/bin/send-reminders
if [ -x "$COLLECT_SCRIPT" -a -x "$SEND_SCRIPT" ]; then
$COLLECT_SCRIPT
su - email-reminder -c $SEND_SCRIPT
fi
4- Add an "email-reminder" user account (usually done with the "adduser" or
"useradd" commands).
5- Create the spool directory for that user only:
mkdir /var/spool/email-reminder
chown email-reminder:email-reminder /var/spool/email-reminder
chmod 750 /var/spool/email-reminder
6- Should you wish to add a menu entry for Email-Reminder Editor, use
the email-reminder-editor.desktop file.
