Is there a simple way to bump the calendar program at night so that is shows the correct day if you leave it running overnight ? I don't log out every day, and work overnight, so I forget to restart the calendar to get the correct date.

I use this easy shell script (kept in ~/bin/cal_update):
kill `ps -ef | grep ical | grep -v ep | awk '{print $2}'`
/usr/sbin/ical
echo "sh /usr/people/schuman/bin/cal_update" | at 0500 tomorrowbrendan@illyria.wpd.sgi.com (Brendan Eich) (11/20/90)

The script becomes: killall ical /usr/sbin/ical echo "sh /usr/people/schuman/bin/cal_update" | at 0500 tomorrow If you don't want to dispatch ical with prejudice (killall delivers SIGKILL by default), use killall -TERM ical Kill(1) and csh's builtin namesake deliver SIGTERM by default. /be

If anyone would like a copy of ical.c that I've updated to do just this, just send me email. I've got it to automatically change the calendar at night, as well as reset to the current month 60 seconds after the month has been changed via the <LEFT> or <MIDDLE> mouse buttons. -- ##################################################################### # CompuServe: >INTERNET:uunet.UU.NET!ki!dwatts Dan Watts # # UUCP : ...!{uunet | wgc386}!ki!dwatts Ki Research, Inc. # ############### New Dimensions In Network Connectivity ##############
