     CALENDAR(1)                                           CALENDAR(1)



     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 ``Aug. 24,'' ``august 24,'' ``8/24,'' etc., are
          recognized, but not ``24 August'' or ``24/8''.  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 or her login directory
          and sends them any positive results by mail(1).  Normally
          this is done daily by facilities in the UNIX operating
          system.

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

          /etc/passwd

          /tmp/cal*

     SEE ALSO
          mail(1).

     BUGS
          Your calendar must be public information for you to get
          reminder service.
          calendar's extended idea of ``tomorrow'' does not account
          for holidays.
