| 3 | calendar \- reminder service | |
| 4 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
| 5 | .B calendar | |
| 6 | [ \- ] | |
| 7 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 8 | .I Calendar | |
| 9 | consults the file `calendar' in the current directory | |
| 10 | and prints out lines that contain today's or | |
| 11 | tomorrow's date anywhere in the line. | |
| 12 | Most reasonable month-day dates such as `Dec. 7,' | |
| 13 | `december 7,' `12/7,' etc., are recognized, but not | |
| 14 | `7 December' or `7/12'. | |
| 15 | On weekends `tomorrow' extends through Monday. | |
| 16 | .PP | |
| 17 | When | |
| 18 | an argument is present, | |
| 19 | .I calendar | |
| 20 | does its job for every user | |
| 21 | who has a file `calendar' in his login directory | |
| 22 | and sends him any positive results by | |
| 23 | .IR mail (1). | |
| 24 | Normally this is done daily in the wee hours under control of | |
| 25 | .IR cron (8). | |
