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: $ cal --magik-calendar-week-option January 2012 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 2 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 3 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 4 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 5 29 30 31
