Yes, what you are describing is a 'wrapper script' because you are wrapping script around the command(s) (in this case the cal command) to perform differently than without the wrapper. So, you are on the right track. Remember to have statements or switches "Jan" and "jan" and "January" etc. based on your project needs. Also, when you write a wrapper, if others will be using it, you might consider writing a quick man page and/or a command line help file.

airport-config

AIRPORT-CONFIG(1)					      General Commands Manual						 AIRPORT-CONFIG(1)

NAME

       airport-config - Configurator for the original Apple AirPort Base Station ("Graphite") and the Lucent RG-1000 base station

SYNOPSIS

       airport-config

DESCRIPTION

       airport-config allows you to manage your AirPort base station, just like the AirPort software on Mac OS X.

OPTIONS

       airport-config  accepts	no command-line options. airport-config is a wrapper script around the AirportBaseStationConfigurator.jar jar file
       located in /usr/share/java/airport-utils.

       You can set the JAVACMD environment variable to use a specific JVM instead of the one chosen by the wrapper script. Set the DEBUG  environ-
       ment variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       DEBUG  Set this variable to 1 to get the debug output from the wrapper script.

       JAVACMD
	      The  full  path  to  the	Java  Virtual  Machine	to  use.  By  default,	the  wrapper  uses JAVACMD; if it is not set, it looks for
	      JAVA_BINDIR/java, then for JAVA_HOME/bin/java before looking for a java executable in the PATH. In the latter case, the JVM used can
	      be configured using the Debian alternatives system (see update-alternatives(8)).

       JAVA_HOME
	      The full path where your JDK/JRE is installed.

       JAVA_BINDIR
	      The full path to the directory where the java executable is located.

       JAVA_ARGS
	      Extra command-line arguments to be passed to the Java Virtual Machine.
