NAME
calendar - reminder service
SYNOPSIS
calendar
[ - ]
DESCRIPTION
Calendar
consults the file `calendar' in the current directory
and prints out lines that contain today's or
tomorrow's date anywhere in the line.
Most reasonable month-day dates such as `Dec. 7,'
`december 7,' `12/7,' etc., are recognized, but not
`7 December' or `7/12'.
On weekends `tomorrow' extends through Monday.
When
an argument is present,
calendar
does its job for every user
who has a file `calendar' in his login directory
and sends him any positive results by
mail(1).
Normally this is done daily in the wee hours under control of
cron(8).
FILES
calendar
/usr/lib/calendar to figure out today's and tomorrow's dates
/etc/passwd
/tmp/cal*
egrep, sed, mail subprocesses
SEE ALSO
at(1), cron(8), mail(1)
BUGS
Your calendar must be public information for you
to get reminder service.
Calendar's
extended idea of `tomorrow' doesn't account for
holidays.
