CALENDAR(1)                          SysV                          CALENDAR(1)



NAME
     calendar - reminder service

SYNOPSIS
     calendar [ - ]

DESCRIPTION
     calendar provides an individual reminder sevice by consulting the file
     calendar in your login directory and printing out lines containing
     today's or tomorrow's date.  You must create the file before calendar can
     successfully run.

     A typical line in your calendar file may look like this:

          12/15 Departmental meeting at 3 p.m.

     calendar recognizes most month-day entries (e.g., 12/15, Dec. 15,
     december 15), but not day-month items (e.g., 15 December, 15/12).  On
     weekends, "tomorrow" extends through Monday.

     When an argument is present, calendar looks in all users' login
     directories for a file named calendar and sends any positive results by
     mail(1).

BUGS
     Your calendar must be public information for you to get reminder service.
     calendar's extended idea of "tomorrow" does not account for holidays.

FILES
     /usr/lib/calprog    to figure out today's and tomorrow's dates
     /etc/passwd /tmp/cal*
