| 24 | .SH DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 25 | .PP
|
|---|
| 26 | Basically \fIcalendar\fR program consults the file \fIcalendar\fR in the
|
|---|
| 27 | current directory and display lines which contain today's or tomorrow's date.
|
|---|
| 28 | Month-day formats such
|
|---|
| 29 | as '12/25', 'Dec. 25', 'december 25', '*/25', '12/*', '*/*' are
|
|---|
| 30 | recognized. The asterisk
|
|---|
| 31 | means 'all' days or 'all' months. On weekends 'tomorrow' extends through
|
|---|
| 32 | next Monday without any consideration about holidays.
|
|---|
| 33 | To prevent ambiguity, the formats '25 Dec.' and '25/12' are not recognized.
|
|---|
| 34 | .PP
|
|---|
| 35 | When an argument \fB\-\fR is present, \fIcalendar\fR works for all users
|
|---|
| 36 | with a file \fIcalendar\fR in their login directories and sends them mail.
|
|---|
| 37 | Normally this is done daily under the control of \fIcron\fR.
|
|---|
| 38 | .PP
|
|---|
| 39 | The \fB\-r\fR option does its the same job as \fB\-\fR option, but touches
|
|---|
| 40 | the \fIcalendar\fR to prevents further access on the same day.
|
|---|
| 41 | Normally this is done in the \fI/etc/rc\fR file on a machine which may be
|
|---|
| 42 | booted several times in one day.
|
|---|
| 43 | .SH "SEE ALSO"
