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(8).

FILES
     /usr/lib/calendar   to figure out today's and tomorrow's
     dates
     /etc/passwd         to find user names
     /tmp/cal*           temporary files
     egrep, mail, sed    subprocesses

SEE ALSO
     at(1), cron(8), 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.
