CALENDAR(C)              XENIX System V               CALENDAR(C)



     Name
          calendar - Invokes a reminder service.

     Syntax
          calendar [ - ]

     Description
          calendar consults the file calendar in the user's current
          directory and mails him lines that contain today's or
          tomorrow's date.  Most reasonable month-day dates, such as
          ``Sep. 7,'' ``september 7'', and ``9/7'', are recognized,
          but not ``7 September'', ``7/12'' or ``07/12''.

          On weekends ``tomorrow'' extends through Monday. Lines that
          contain the date of a Monday will be sent to the user on the
          previous Friday. This is not true for holidays.

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

     Files

     Notes

          read permission for all.
