Here's what I use for the same purpose: #!/bin/sh # # Go through the calendars and find out what happened today. cd /usr/share/calendar (for i in /usr/share/calendar/calendar.*; do calendar -W -1 -f $i 2>/dev/null; done) | sort | uniq | mail -s "Today's anniversaries" grog Greg -- When replying to this message, please take care not to mutilate the original text.

I read the man page before I posted, but didn't understand what "either today's date or tomorrow's." meant before I browsed the calendar.* files. I thought it might be set to display tomorrow's date by default and I needed to set it to display today's date. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

After browsing through some of the calendar.* files, I realize that it sends an event for tomorrow if no event for today exists.

Calendar program dates
Hi, I've got the calendar program emailing me events that occurred (supposedly) today in history. However, it's listing events that occurred tomorrow. Is that normal? The date is correct on my system and the email date is correct.
