There is a third-party module "Reminder" that does this.

I've listed all the modules I know about here:

Hello,
my server provider don't allow cronjobs.
There are another possibility without cronjobs?
Thank you.

No.

Jobs on the server will only run when (a) you visit the site or (b) a cron-job runs a script or fetches a page.

Without one of these, your code will not run.

There are third-party services which will run cron-jobs for you. i.e.they will fetch a URL on your site every day at 08:00, or whatever schedule you choose.

I'm trying to get the notifications working but seem to have missed something. (I am in transition from MyHeritage and have several folks who are now receiving the daily notifications there.)

I have installed the "notifications" module and added the entry to crontab - "0 9 * * * wget -O - -q " mywebsite.duckdns.org/webtrees/index.php...key=lz5bat6RW1MXLCFQ "".

Since I am running Fedora with SELinux also checked on the type for the crontab file and per documentation it appears to have the necessary assignments - "-rwsr-xr-x. 1 root root system_u:object_r:crontab_exec_t:s0 78136 Mar 18 2019 crontab".

There was a string (but I can't locate it now) that indicated there would only be notifications is there were events for that day - I have checked to ensure that is the case but no notification was received. To expand on that, if I do not login, there are no events on the main page but once I login, I do see events for that day. From what I understand from the documentation for this module, it should be sending the notifications of the day that I see when I am logged in. At least I hope that is the case! Otherwise I would only be seeing events for people no longer living which isn't my requirement.

P.S. - I am running webtrees 2.0.4

is there something similar for 'yahrzeiten' anniversaries (instead of 'on this day')?

Is that to use DEAT like BIRT or MARR in the Module of UksusoFF?

Yahzeiten is it's own separate thing I believe (see attached screenshot)
