Generally useful and important system stuff on unixoid systems

Calendar

e.g. on Debian the oldschool cal tool is not available at all. ncal is available via apt, but it behaves differently. Same as in cal, ncal starts weeks with sunday per default - with -M you can can change this to mondays.

But it still looks differently:

ncal -M
    February 2024     
Mo     5 12 19 26   
Tu     6 13 20 27   
We     7 14 21 28   
Th  1  8 15 22 29   
Fr  2  9 16 23      
Sa  3 10 17 24      
Su  4 11 18 25      

This can be changed by adding the -b option:

ncal -bM
   February 2024      
Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su  
          1  2  3  4  
 5  6  7  8  9 10 11  
12 13 14 15 16 17 18  
19 20 21 22 23 24 25  
26 27 28 29
