Print a monthly calendar with today's date highlighted

The cal command is handy, but sometimes you want to quickly see today's date highlighted. That's why I came up with this quick command.

Much like http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/1342/show-this-months-calendar-with-todays-date-highlighted but cleaner and more succinct.

Get the date for the last Saturday of a given month

This is a little trickier than finding the last Sunday, because you know the last Sunday is in the first position of the last line. The trick is to use the NF less than or equal to 7 so it picks up all the lines then grep out any empty lines.

prettier "cal" command

Displays the same output as "cal", but with the current day highlighted (probably dependent on gnu grep, as I'm not sure other grep's support the "--color=auto" option). Tested and working on Ubuntu 11 and OSX Lion.

Show this month's calendar, with today's date highlighted

Explanation:

* The date command evaluated to today's date with blank padded on the left if single digit

* The grep command search and highlight today's date

* The --before-context and --after-context flags displays up to 6 lines before and after the line containing today's date; thus completes the calendar.

I have tested this command on Mac OS X Leopard and Xubuntu 8.10
