DESCRIPTION

The leave command 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, the leave command
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).  All times are converted to a 12 hour clock, and assumed to be in
the next 12 hours.

If the time is preceded by '+,' the alarm will go off in hours and minutes from
the current time.

If no argument is given, the leave command 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 file.

The leave command ignores interrupts, quits, and terminates.  To get rid of it
you should either log off or use "kill -9" giving its process id.
