NAME
leave - Reminds you when to leave
SYNOPSIS
leave [+][hhmm]
DESCRIPTION
The leave command waits until the specified time, then reminds you to
leave. You are reminded 5 minutes and 1 minute before the actual time,
at the time, and every minute thereafter. When you log out, leave exits
just before it would have displayed 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 preceded by a + (plus sign), the alarm will go off in
hours and minutes from the current time.
If you do not specify a time, leave prompts with the following: When do
you have to leave?
Pressing the newline key in response causes leave to exit; otherwise,
the reply is assumed to be a time. This form is suitable for inclusion
in a or file.
The leave command ignores Interrupts, Quits, and Terminates. To exit
from leave, either log out or use kill -9 and the process ID.
EXAMPLES
To remind yourself to leave at 3:45, enter: leave 345
The system returns a message similar to the following: Alarm set for
Thu Aug 2 15:45:00 1990
