There used to be a machine called oz.ai.mit.edu, and it used to have a
wizard who knew when it was your birthday. He was a friendly wizard, not
at all deserving of the name "daemon," because he'd send you a nice little
note when that special day came around...
I had been saving one of my messages for some time, but only just now got
around to writing this program. It reads a file with email names and
birthdays, and sends mail. It should be run out of cron early every
morning. If WEEKEND_HACK is #define'd, then on Friday bday will send mail
to people with birthdays on Saturday and Sunday.
The program uses getopt and sendmail, but hacking around the latter should
be pretty easy.
