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.
