CALENDAR(1)          INTERACTIVE UNIX System          CALENDAR(1)



          NAME
               calendar - reminder service

          SYNOPSIS
               calendar [ - ]

          DESCRIPTION
               The calendar command 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 his or her login directory
               and sends them any positive results by mail(1).  Normally
               this is done daily by facilities in the UNIX operating sys-
               tem.

          FILES
               /usr/lib/calprog    to figure out today's and tomorrow's
                                   dates

               /etc/passwd

               /tmp/cal*

          SEE ALSO
               mail(1).

          BUGS
               Your calendar must be public information for you to get rem-
               inder service.
               calendar's extended idea of ``tomorrow'' does not account
               for holidays.
