CALENDAR(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual CALENDAR(1)

NAME

    calendar - reminder service

SYNOPSIS

    calendar [ - ]

DESCRIPTION

    _C_a_l_e_n_d_a_r consults the file `calendar' in the current direc-
    tory and prints out lines that contain today's or tomorrow's
    date anywhere in the line.  Most reasonable month-day dates
    such as `Dec. 7,' `december 7,' `12/7,' etc., are recog-
    nized, but not `7 December' or `7/12'.  On weekends `tomor-
    row' extends through Monday.

    When an argument is present, _c_a_l_e_n_d_a_r does its job for every
    user who has a file `calendar' in his login directory and
    sends him any positive results by _m_a_i_l(1).  Normally this is
    done daily in the wee hours under control of _c_r_o_n(1).

FILES

    calendar
    /usr/lib/calendar to figure out today's and tomorrow's dates
    /etc/passwd
    /tmp/cal*
    egrep, sed, mail subprocesses

SEE ALSO

    at(1), cron(1), mail(1)

BUGS

    Your calendar must be public information for you to get rem-
    inder service.
    _C_a_l_e_n_d_a_r'_s extended idea of `tomorrow' doesn't account for
    holidays.
