OSXFAQ Daily Unix Tricks
Week 41 - Scheduling 2 (21 April 2003)
by
Adrian Mayo - Senior Editor for Mac OS X Unix
Friday - The Unix Calendar
Use the 'calendar' command to query appointments and events. Create a plain text file (default name 'calendar') containing a month, date, and event on each line.
% cat calendar
10 April Thursday's job
20 April Sunday's job
26 April Saturday's job
04/01 April Fool
04/20 Sunday's job
04/29 Dentist
Print the events for a given date (specified as MMDD) with the following commands:
% calendar -d 0410
10 April Thursday's job
% calendar -d 0429
04/29 Dentist
For today (20 April in this example), you can miss out the date specification:
% calendar
20 April Sunday's job
04/20 Sunday's job
If the file is other than 'calendar' in the current directory use the '-f' option:
% calendar -f /path/name/file-name -d 0429
04/29 Dentist
Unix has some pre-written calendar files in:
/usr/share/calendar
For example:
% calendar -f /usr/share/calendar/calendar.holiday -d 0421
04/21 San Jacinto Day in Texas
04/22 Arbor Day in Nebraska & Delaware
04/22 Oklahoma Day in Oklahoma
04/21 Tiradentes in Brazil
