If enabled in the Server Settings, the email_reminders.php page will send an e-mail with overdue tasks, today's tasks, upcoming tasks and high (and highest) priority tasks to each user that has indicated they want to receive this in their Preferences.

Using CRON on a UNIX/Linux/Mac OS X server you can set up a CRON job to load the email_reminders.php page at whatever interval you want to receive the email. On windows, I know you can schedule a task to do the same thing - someone tell me how and I'll add it here.

The your-password below is the 'Password for CRON Jobs' in your Server Settings.

Here is the syntax for 2 ways to hit the page at 3am using CRON.

This way should be most compatible:

0 3 * * * wget -q --delete-after http://www.example.com/tasks/email_reminders.php?password=your-password

Mac OS X users may need to use 'curl' instead of 'wget'.

0 3 * * * curl http://www.example.com/tasks/email_reminders.php?password=your-password

This way should work fine as long as you have lynx installed:

0 3 * * * lynx -source http://www.example.com/tasks/email_reminders.php?password=your-password

Note: your server must be configured to send e-mail for e-mail reminders to work.
