Bug#4672: no crontab entry for calendar -a



Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 3.1-0

Info from the manual page:
     Calendar checks the current directory for a file named calendar and dis­
     plays lines that begin with either today's date or tomorrow's.  On Fri­
     days, events on Friday through Monday are displayed.

     The following options are available:

     -a      Process the ``calendar'' files of all users and mail the results
             to them.  This requires super-user privileges.

On BSD system 'calendar -a' runs every night by default.

So I suggest to add a /etc/cron.daily/calendar that calls 'calendar
-a' every night.

(It should be possible to disable this by editing
/etc/cron.daily/calendar because in a multi-machine nfs-mount
environment each of the computers will send this mail.)
