Synopsis
leave [[+]hhmm
]
Remind you when you have to leave. The time given,
hhmm, may be in 12 or 24-hour format.
hh represents hours and
mm represents minutes. The time is converted
to the corresponding wall clock time in the upcoming 12 hours.
leave prompts you to leave five minutes
before, one minute before, and at the given time, and then every
minute thereafter. With a leading +
, the time is taken as an offset from
the current time. With no argument, leave prompts you for a time; this is
useful from a shell start-up file, such as ~/.profile or ~/.login. Logout, or kill it with
kill in order to terminate
it.
