NAME
leave - remind you when you have to leave
SYNOPSIS
leave [hhmm]
DESCRIPTION
leave waits until the specified time, then reminds you that
you have to leave. You are reminded 5 minutes and 1 minute
before the actual time, at the time, and every minute
thereafter. When you log off, leave exits just before it
would have printed the next message.
The time of day is in the form hhmm, where hh is a time in
hours (on a 12 or 24 hour clock) and mm is a time in
minutes. All times are converted to a 12 hour clock, and
assumed to be in the next 12 hours.
If no argument is given, leave prompts with When do you have
to leave?. A reply of newline causes leave to exit,
otherwise the reply is assumed to be a time. This form is
suitable for inclusion in a .login or .profile.
leave ignores interrupts, quits, and terminates. It sends
messages while other programs are running. To get out of
leave, you should either log off or use kill -9, giving its
process id.
