The
leave
utility 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.
The following options are available:
|
| 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 converted to a 12 hour clock, and assumed to
be in the next 12 hours.
|
| amp;+
|
If the time is preceded by
' amp;+',
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.
To get rid of
leave
you should either log off or use
‘kill -s KILL’
giving its process id.
