NAME

6       calendar - reminder service
7

SYNOPSIS

9       calendar [ - ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Calendar  consults  the  file  `calendar'  in the current directory and
13       prints out lines that contain today's or tomorrow's  date  anywhere  in
14       the  line.  Most reasonable month-day dates such as `Dec. 7,' `december
15       7,' `12/7,' etc., are recognized, but not `7 December' or  `7/12'.   On
16       weekends `tomorrow' extends through Monday.
17
18       When  an  argument is present, calendar does its job for every user who
19       has a file `calendar' in his login directory and sends him any positive
20       results by mail(1).  Normally this is done daily in the wee hours under
21       control of cron(8).

BUGS

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