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 positive
results by mail(1). Normally this is done daily in the wee hours under
control of cron(8).
FILES

/usr/lib/calendar to figure out today's and tomorrow's dates

SEE ALSO

BUGS
Your calendar must be public information for you to get reminder ser‐
vice.
Calendar's extended idea of ‘tomorrow' doesn't account for holidays.
