    CALENDAR(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	      CALENDAR(1)

    NAME
         calendar - reminder service

    SYNOPSIS
         calendar [ - ]

    DESCRIPTION
         Calendar consults the file `calendar' in the current direc-
         tory 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 recog-
         nized, but not `7 December' or `7/12'.  If you give the
         month as ``*'' with a date, i.e. ``* 1'', that day in any
         month will do.  On weekends `tomorrow' extends through Mon-
         day.

         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).

         The file `calendar' is first run through the ``C'' prepro-
         cessor, /lib/cpp, to include any other calendar files speci-
         fied with the usual ``#include'' syntax.  Included calendars
         will usually be shared by all users, maintained and docu-
         mented by the local administration.

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

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

    BUGS
         Calendar's extended idea of `tomorrow' doesn't account for
         holidays.
