Define "ASAP". 14 days and counting. Please fix.
Me too. Still looking for that elusive update in cal | ncurses | ?
For those who needs a workaround, Karel suggested this: script -qc "cal" /dev/null | cat Works for me until it will be fixed in Fedora.
Well, if we're posting workarounds... expect -c 'log_user 0; spawn cal 2 2013; interact;' :-)
This is what I'm using: script -qc "cal $*" /dev/null | perl -pe 's/\x{1b}\[.*m// ;' The perl expression strips off the escape sequence that highlights today's date. There really should be an option to disable that...
Why should cal need to use ncurses? It used to generate its output left to right, top to bottom. It should still work on a paper teletype.
It uses curses to highlight the current day.
It just seems a bit of sledgehammer to have the whole program in curses mode merely to turn highlighting on and off around the current day.
