Nice, here are some enhancements to consider:
  • Ability to get first/last dow of current month or year (eg last Friday in 2010 could be "1/1/2011" -1Fri)
  • Next full/new moon from date (Easter sunday 2011 - 'Mar-21-2011' +1FullMoon +1Sun)

CALENDAR(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					       CALENDAR(1)

NAME
calendar -- reminder service SYNOPSIS
calendar [-a] [-A num] [-B num] [-F friday] [-f calendarfile] [-t dd[.mm[.year]]] [-W num] DESCRIPTION
The calendar utility checks the current directory for a file named calendar and displays lines that begin with either today's date or tomor- row's. On the day before a weekend (normally Friday), events for the next three days are displayed. The following options are available: -A num Print lines from today and the next num days (forward, future). -a Process the ``calendar'' files of all users and mail the results to them. This requires super-user privileges. -B num Print lines from today and the previous num days (backward, past). -F friday Specify which day of the week is ``Friday'' (the day before the weekend begins). Default is 5. -f calendarfile Use calendarfile as the default calendar file. -t dd[.mm[.year]] For test purposes only: set date directly to argument values. -W num Print lines from today and the next num days (forward, future). Ignore weekends when calculating the number of days. To handle calendars in your national code table you can specify ``LANG=<locale_name>'' in the calendar file as early as possible. To handle national Easter names in the calendars ``Easter=<national_name>'' (for Catholic Easter) or ``Paskha=<national_name>'' (for Orthodox Easter) can be used. Other lines should begin with a month and day. They may be entered in almost any format, either numeric or as character strings. If the proper locale is set, national month and weekday names can be used. A single asterisk (``*'') matches every month. A day without a month matches that day of every week. A month without a day matches the first of that month. Two numbers default to the month followed by the day. Lines with leading tabs default to the last entered date, allowing multiple line specifications for a single date. ``Easter'', is Easter for this year, and may be followed by a positive or negative integer. ``Paskha'', is Orthodox Easter for this year, and may be followed by a positive or negative integer. Weekdays may be followed by ``-4'' ... ``+5'' (aliases for last, first, second, third, fourth) for moving events like ``the last Monday in April''. By convention, dates followed by an asterisk are not fixed, i.e., change from year to year. Day descriptions start after the first <tab> character in the line; if the line does not contain a <tab> character, it is not displayed. If the first character in the line is a <tab> character, it is treated as a continuation of the previous line. The ``calendar'' file is preprocessed by cpp(1), allowing the inclusion of shared files such as lists of company holidays or meetings. If the shared file is not referenced by a full pathname, cpp(1) searches in the current (or home) directory first, and then in the directory /usr/share/calendar. Empty lines and lines protected by the C commenting syntax (/* ... */) are ignored. Some possible calendar entries (<tab> characters highlighted by sequence) LANG=C Easter=Ostern #include <calendar.usholiday> #include <calendar.birthday> 6/15 June 15 (if ambiguous, will default to month/day). Jun. 15 June 15. 15 June June 15. Thursday Every Thursday. June Every June 1st. 15 * 15th of every month. May Sun+2 second Sunday in May (Muttertag) 04/SunLast last Sunday in April, summer time in Europe Easter Easter Ostern-2 Good Friday (2 days before Easter) Paskha Orthodox Easter FILES
