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 system.
FILES
/usr/lib/calprog to figure out today’s and tomorrow’s dates
/etc/passwd
/tmp/cal∗

BUGS
Your calendar must be public information for you to get reminder service.
calendar’s extended idea of “tomorrow” does not account for holidays.
