LEAVE(1-BSD)        RISC/os Reference Manual         LEAVE(1-BSD)



NAME
     leave - remind you when you have to leave

SYNOPSIS
     leave [ [+]hhmm ]

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

     The time of day is in the form hhmm where hh is a time in
     hours (on a 12 or 24 hour clock).  All times are converted
     to a 12 hour clock, and assumed to be in the next 12 hours.

     If the time is preceeded by `+', the alarm will go off in
     hours and minutes from the current time.

     If no argument 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.

     leave ignores interrupts, quits, and terminates.  To get rid
     of it you should either log off or use ``kill -9'' giving
     its process id.
