[hhmm]
DESCRIPTION
The command waits until the specified time, then reminds you 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, exits.
The time of day is in the form hhmm, where hh is a time in hours (which
can range from 0 through 11 or 0 through 24 hours), and mm is the num‐
ber of minutes after the specified hour. If the value of hh is greater
than 11 (24-hour clock time), the specified value is reduced by 12 to a
new value in the range of 0 through 11, thus ensuring that the alarm
time is always set to activate within the next 12 hours. For example,
if hhmm is 1350 and the current time is 4:00 PM (1600), the 1350 value
is changed to 150 and the alarm is set for 1:50 AM, nine hours and 50
minutes later. On the other hand, if it is 9:00 AM and hhmm is speci‐
fied as 2200 (10:00 PM), the value used is converted to 1000 and the
alarm is set for one hour later instead of 13 hours as specified.
If no argument is provided, prompts with
A reply of newline causes to exit; otherwise the reply is assumed to be
a time. This form is suitable for inclusion in a or file.
The command ignores interrupts, quits, and terminate signals. To get
rid of it you should either log off or use giving its process ID.
EXAMPLES

sends an alarm (a beep) to your terminal to remind you that you have to
leave at 12:04 and reminds you that you are late at one minute inter‐
vals after 12:04.
WARNINGS
The command checks to see if a user has logged out by checking the file
every 100 seconds. If a user logs out and logs back in to the same tty
before makes its periodic check, may not know that the user has logged
out.
