CALENDAR(1)                 General Commands Manual                CALENDAR(1)



NAME
       calendar - reminder service

SYNOPSIS
       calendar [ - ] [ n ]

DESCRIPTION
       Calendar  consults calendar files and prints out lines that contain to‐
       day's date or any date up through the nth working day hence (n=1 by de‐
       fault).   Most American-style month-day dates such as `Dec. 7,' `decem‐
       ber 7,' `12/7,' etc., are recognized, but not `7/12'.  The  symbol  `*'
       denotes  every  month as in `* 7' or `*/7'.  A year may follow the day,
       as in `Dec 7, 84', `Dec 7 1984', or `12/7/84'.

       By default, the program consults the file `calendar' in the  $HOME  di‐
       rectory (see sh(1)), or in the current directory if a home directory is
       not known.  Other calendar files to be consulted may  be  specified  by
       lines of the form

              #include "file"

       in the calendar file.  Includes do not nest.

       When  the  `-' argument is present, calendar reminds all users of their
       calendar engagements by mail(1).  Normally this happens  daily  in  the
       wee hours under control of cron(8).  Calendars not in home directories,
       or recipients not registered as users, may be registered  for  reminder
       service  by  placing  lines  of  the  form  `pathname mailname' in file
       /usr/lib/calendar.

BUGS
       The mail reminder service doesn't work when it finds less than two cal‐
       endars.
       Your  calendar  must be public information for you to get reminder ser‐
       vice.
       Holidays are what the program says they are.
