CALENDAR(1)  —  HP-UX

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 “Aug. 24,” “august 24,” “8/24,” etc., are recognized, but not “24 August” or “24/8”.  On weekends “tomorrow” extends through Monday. 

When an argument is present, calendar does its job for every user who has a file calendar in the login directory and sends them any positive results by mail(1). Normally this is done daily in the early morning hours under control of cron(1M).

FILES

calendar
/tmp/cal∗
/usr/lib/calprog to figure out today’s and tomorrow’s dates
/usr/lib/crontab
/etc/passwd

SEE ALSO

cron(1M), 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. 

INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT

8- and 16-bit data, 8-bit filenames.
