CALENDAR(1) (User Environment Utilities) CALENDAR(1)
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 his or her login directory
and sends them any positive results by mail(1). Normally
this is done daily by operating system facilities.
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
reminder service.
calendar's extended idea of ``tomorrow'' does not account
for holidays.
