etm 891

etm (Event and Task Manager) uses text files in order to store events and tasks, provides a command line interface for viewing tasks and events in a variety of convenient ways and a curses-based GUI for creating and modifying events and tasks as well as viewing them. Alarms are supported for events and repetition for both events and tasks in a powerful and flexible manner.

Compared to the combination of wxRemind and yeaGTD, etm provides the following advantages:

- an agenda view that shows events and tasks together for the next few days rather than one day at a time in separate task and event windows;
- a quick and simple way to enter events and tasks on a single line;
- support for remind but also an independent way of entering events with contexts, notes and optional alarms;
- an interactive GUI that uses curses and thus requires nothing more than a terminal window.

· Specify a number of days prior to the due date to be reminded to begin a task.
· Display tasks in customizable colors which depend upon their due dates.
· Keep complete records of the dates when tasks were completed.
