    How about putting this in your crontab for 00:01.
    
    jpilot-dump -N | mailx -s "Appointments for `date`" yannick
    jpilot-dump -T | mailx -s "ToDos for `date`" yannick

    the web server will dish it out.

    I wonder if there is a silent alarm sound file.  That would be handy to 
    play silent alarms yet still have sound turned on.
