Here's a trivial example of the bug. $ ncal -M January 2012 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 Su 1 8 15 22 29 $ ncal -S January 2012 Su 2 9 16 23 30 Mo 3 10 17 24 31 Tu 4 11 18 25 We 5 12 19 26 Th 6 13 20 27 Fr 7 14 21 28 Sa 1 8 15 22 29 $ Was New Year's day this year a Sunday or a Saturday?

[Bug 604366] Re: cal -m doesn't work anymore
According to the man page, The cal utility displays a simple calendar in traditional format and ncal offers an alternative layout..., so the switched axes are not a problem with ncal. But I do observe the problem that the -M option does not cause the week to start with Monday with cal. $ cal -M Usage: cal [general options] [-hjy] [[month] year] cal [general options] [-hj] [-m month] [year] ncal [general options] [-bhJjpwySM] [-s country_code] [[month] year] ncal [general options] [-bhJeoSM] [year] General options: [-NC3] [-A months] [-B months] For debug the highlighting: [-H -mm-dd] [-d -mm] $ ncal -M November 2011 Mo 7 14 21 28 Tu 1 8 15 22 29 We 2 9 16 23 30 Th 3 10 17 24 Fr 4 11 18 25 Sa 5 12 19 26 Su 6 13 20 27 I get similar results with -S (works for ncal, doesn't for cal).

[Bug 604366] Re: cal -m doesn't work anymore
The man page is shared for cal and ncal, and it says ncal has more options, so it may be the case that the -M option is only for ncal. Until this gets fixed, I came up with the following workaround: $ ncal -M -C November 2011 Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su 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 Using ncal, the -M option starts the week on Monday, and the -C option uses cal-style formatting. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604366 Title: cal -m doesn't work anymore To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bsdmainutils/+bug/604366/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 604366] Re: cal -m doesn't work anymore
I think the title of this bug is misleading. cal's -m option has become ncal's -M, that fine. But ncal's -S option compared to -M prints the dates in the same place but shifts the days of the week labels; as mrq1 wrote that CANT be correct. To show the problem, just do ncal -M; ncal -S and study the output. I suggest the title be changed to ncal incorrect if asked for weeks starting Sunday with -S. And the priority should be higher than normal. I very nearly made a real muck-up here because I trusted ncal's output without a second thought. The above is 10.10. I think it may have been fixed in 11.04; could someone test please. But given the potential impact of using a wrong calendar perhaps the fix needs back-porting? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/604366 Title: cal -m doesn't work anymore -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
