Don't you just love it when two commands each do one thing you want but neither do both?
This is what
cal
does. Nice formatting. Lacks week numbers though:
$ cal
January 2012
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
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 30 31
This is what
ncal
does. Weird formatting, but with week numbers:
$ ncal -w
January 2012
Su 1 8 15 22 29
Mo 2 9 16 23 30
Tu 3 10 17 24 31
We 4 11 18 25
Th 5 12 19 26
Fr 6 13 20 27
Sa 7 14 21 28
1 2 3 4 5
The kind of output I want, actually a crossbreed between
cal
and
ncal -w
:
