CALENDAR(1)             GENIX Programmer's Manual             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  `Dec.  7,'
           `december  7,' `12/7,' etc., are recognized, but not `7 December' or
           `7/12'.  If you give just a date, i.e. ``1'', that day in any  month
           will do.  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 login directory and sends him any
           positive results by mail(1).  Normally this is done daily in the wee
           hours under control of cron(8).

      FILES
           calendar
           /usr/lib/calendar to figure out today's and tomorrow's dates
           /etc/passwd
           /tmp/cal*
           egrep, sed, mail subprocesses

      SEE ALSO
           at(1), cron(8), mail(1)

      BUGS
           Your calendar must be public information for  you  to  get  reminder
           service.
           Calendar's extended idea of `tomorrow' doesn't account for holidays.
