CALENDAR(1-SysV)    RISC/os Reference Manual     CALENDAR(1-SysV)



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 recog-
     nized, 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 sys-
     tem.

FILES
     /usr/lib/calprog    to figure out today's and tomorrow's
                         dates

     /etc/passwd

     /tmp/cal*

SEE ALSO
     mail(1).

ERRORS
     Your calendar must be public information for you to get rem-
     inder service.
     calendar's extended idea of ``tomorrow'' does not account
     for holidays.
