LEAVE(1)                COMMAND REFERENCE                LEAVE(1)



NAME
     leave - remind you when you have to leave

SYNOPSIS
     leave [-i] [-pNumber] [-s] [ time ] [ message ... ]

DESCRIPTION
     Leave waits until the specified time, then reminds you of
     that event.  You are reminded 5 minutes and 1 minute before
     the actual time, at the time, and every minute for ten
     minutes thereafter.  When you log off, leave exits just
     before it would have printed the next message.

     The time is either in the form +Number where number is the
     delay in minutes from the current time or hhmm, a time in
     hours and minutes (on a 12 or 24 hour clock).  All times
     given in the second form are converted to a 12 hour clock,
     and assumed to be in the next 12 hours.

     If no time is given, leave prompts with "When do you have to
     leave?". A reply of newline causes leave to exit, otherwise
     the reply is assumed to be a time. This form is suitable for
     inclusion in a .login or .profile.

     A message string can be added to the notification to provide
     information on which activity you need to leave for, useful
     if more than one leave is active.

OPTIONS
     -i Prints the process number for the leave invocation on
        standard out.  Useful for getting rid of the repeating
        reminder.  This option invokes -s automatically.

     -pNumber
        Changes the default pester time.  Normally leave will
        remind you of your tardiness for ten minutes after the
        indicated time.  Number is set to the integer pester time
        desired.

     -s Silent mode.  Suppresses the initial notification of the
        alarm set time.  Does not stop later messages, error
        messages, or the prompt for time.

EXAMPLES
     To obtain a reminder to leave for a special meeting in ten
     minutes without an initial message and with pester time set
     to 2 minutes the following is used.

          leave -p2 -s +10 Special Meeting

     An invocation for a lunch meeting at 12:30pm  would be.
