NAME
calendar - reminder service
SYNOPSIS
calendar [ - ] [ n ]
DESCRIPTION
Calendar consults calendar files and prints out lines that contain to-
day's date or any date up through the nth working day hence (n=1 by de-
fault). Most American-style month-day dates such as Aug. 19, august
19, 8/19, etc., are recognized, but not The symbol denotes every month
as in * 19 or */19. A year may follow the day, as in August 19 86,
8/19/86, or Aug. 19, 1986.
By default, the program consults the file in directory $HOME (see
sh(1)), or in the current directory if a home directory is not known.
Other calendar files to be consulted may be specified by calendar lines
in one of the forms
#include file
#include machine!file
where file is the name of some other calendar and machine is the name
of a machine or service accessible via con(1).
When the optional argument is present, calendar reminds all users of
their calendar engagements by mail(1). Normally this happens daily in
the wee hours under control of cron(8). Calendars not in home directo-
ries, or recipients not registered as users, may be registered for re-
minder service by placing lines of the form calendarfile mailname in
file
