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'.	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).

FILES

       calendar
       /usr/lib/calendar to figure out today's and tomorrow's dates
       /etc/passwd
       /tmp/cal*
       egrep, sed, mail subprocesses

SEE ALSO

       at(1), cron(8), mail(1)

BUGS

       Your calendar must be public information for you to get reminder service.
       Calendar's extended idea of `tomorrow' doesn't account for holidays.
