[ale] Linux shell process

Hmm, interesting.  Sorta a couple of "datapoints" I guess:

uname -a:
IRIX64 shell01 6.5 07201611 IP27

"man calendar"
calendar(1)                                                        calendar(1)

NAME
     calendar - reminder service

SYNOPSIS
     calendar [ - ]

DESCRIPTION
     calendar consults the file calendar in the current directory and prints
     out lines that contain today's or tomorrow's date anywhere in the line.
     Most reasonable month-day dates such as Aug.  24, august 24, 8/24, and so
     on, are recognized, but not 24 August or 24/8.  On weekends ``tomorrow''
     extends through Monday.  calendar can be invoked regularly by using the
     crontab(1) or at(1) commands.
