place] [-execr cmd] [-execs cmd] [-help]
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.

tions is specified, the script will default to look for the bi-
nary in /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin and the current directory.

saak fajr shorooq zuhr asr maghrib isha" (list ok).
-reminder minutes

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

directive is recognized and is substituted with the normal output
message or string. The %s directive is recognized and is substi-
tuted 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.\"" &
