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
