LEAVE(1)		    General Commands Manual		      LEAVE(1)

NAME
       leave --	remind you when	you have to leave

SYNOPSIS
       leave [[+]hhmm]

DESCRIPTION
       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.

       +       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.

       To  get	rid  of	 leave you should either log off or use	`kill -s KILL'
       giving its process id.
