NAME¶
zleave - notify you via Zephyr when you have to leave
SYNOPSIS¶
zleave [ [+]
hhmm [
-m Reminder Message ] ]
zleave can[cel]
DESCRIPTION¶
Zleave waits until the specified time, then reminds you that you have to
leave, using the
Zephyr(1) Notification Service. You are reminded 5
minutes and 1 minute before the actual time, at the time, and every minute
thereafter. When you log off,
zleave exits just before it would have
sent the next message.
The time of day is in the form hhmm where hh is a time in hours (on a 12 or 24
hour clock). All times are converted 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,
zleave prompts with "When do you have to
leave?". A reply of newline causes
zleave to exit, otherwise the
reply is assumed to be a time. This form is suitable for inclusion in a
.login or
.profile.
The
cancel option cancels the currently running
zleave. If another
zleave is running, it is automatically killed when a new time to leave
is set. The process id is stored in the file /tmp/zleave.
uid, where
uid is the user's UNIX uid.
If the
-m argument is specified, the next argument is appended to the
standard message (a sentence describing how much time remains until the
appointed hour) sent at appropriate times. If you want to append a
multiple-word message, you normally must quote it with double quotes (")
(This is necessary for users of
csh(1) and
sh(1).)
Zleave automatically subscribes you to Zephyr class "MESSAGE",
instance "LEAVE". You do not have to add anything to your default
subscriptions file (see
zctl(1)). The reminder message is displayed by
the WindowGram client (usually
zwgc(1)).
If Zephyr is unavailable,
zleave acts essentially like
leave(1).
Zleave ignores SIGINT, SIGQUIT, and SIGTERM. To get rid of it you should either
log off or use the
cancel option.
