LEAVE(1) MachTen Reference Manual LEAVE(1)

NAME
leave - remind you when you have to leave

SYNOPSIS
leave [[+]hhmm]

DESCRIPTION
Leave waits until the specified time, then reminds you that you have to
leave. You are reminded 5 minutes and 1 minute before the actual time,
at the time, and every minute thereafter. When you log off, leave exits
just before it would have printed the next message.

Options:

hhmm The time of day is in the form hhmm where hh is a time in hours (on
a 12 or 24 hour clock), and mm are minutes. All times are convert-
ed to a 12 hour clock, and assumed to be in the next 12 hours.

+ If the time is preceded by ‘+’, the alarm will go off in hours and
minutes from the current time.

If no argument is given, leave prompts with "When do you have to leave?".
A reply of newline causes leave to exit, otherwise the reply is assumed
to be a time. This form is suitable for inclusion in a .login or
.profile.

Leave ignores interrupts, quits, and terminates. To get rid of it you
should either log off or use ‘kill -9’ giving its process id.
