calendar
CALENDAR(1) General Commands Manual CALENDAR(1)NAME
calendar - reminder service
SYNOPSIS
calendar [ - ]
DESCRIPTION
Calendar consults the file `calendar' in the current directory 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 recognized, but not `7 December' or `7/12'. If
you give the month as ``*'' with a date, i.e. ``* 1'', that day in any month will do. On weekends `tomorrow' extends through Monday.
When an argument is present, calendar does its job for every user who has a file `calendar' in his login directory and sends him any posi-
tive results by mail(1). Normally this is done daily in the wee hours under control of cron(8).
The file `calendar' is first run through the ``C'' preprocessor, /lib/cpp, to include any other calendar files specified with the usual
``#include'' syntax. Included calendars will usually be shared by all users, maintained and documented by the local administration.
FILES
calendar
/usr/libexec/calendar to figure out today's and tomorrow's dates
/etc/passwd
/tmp/cal*
/lib/cpp, egrep, sed, mail as subprocesses

Calendar's extended idea of `tomorrow' doesn't account for holidays.
