KonsoleKalendar

Use your calendar when you can't use a graphical user interface

konsolekalendar is an application to administer a calendar without a graphical user interface. It normally works with the calendar that is marked "Default", if you use KOrganizer. However, it is possible to create a calendar if you don't have one already.

As it is strictly a command-line application, konsolekalendar's syntax must be learned first.

Here is a short introduction to using konsolekalendar:

If you do not already have a calendar set up, you first need to create one:

konsolekalendar --create --file ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/vacation.ics

(This location will enable it to be used either in konsolekalendar or in korganizer.)

Add your birthday to the default calendar:

konsolekalendar --add --date 2009-06-06 --summary "My Birthday" --description "Party Time"

Add a vacation:

konsolekalendar --add --file vacation.ics --date 2009-08-01 --end-date 2009-08-07 --summary "Vacation" \
  --description "Nobody will ever find me!"

Show all calendar entries:
```
konsolekalendar --all 2>errorlog
```

You probably don't want to do this if you have been using your calendar for long, however, you can specify date ranges, as in…
```
konsolekalendar --view --date 2009-08-17 --end-date 2009-08-21
```

…which shows that particular work week.

Or maybe you only wanted to see the next entry? Then use:
```
konsolekalendar --next
```

Or for the week ahead? Try:
```
konsolekalendar --show-next 7
```

To show your calendar file, the rubric is:

konsolekalendar --view 2>&1 | grep resource | grep konsolekalendar

To edit an entry, use:

konsolekalendar --change --uid libkcal-1652809671.172 --summary "Get my head examined" \
  --description "I must be crazy!!"

Before you can delete an entry, you first need to list it:

There at the bottom is the UID of the entry.

Now you are ready to delete it:

konsolekalendar --delete --uid libkcal-1652809671.172

Warning

Beware - this is a permanent delete. You cannot recover the entry

Export a calendar; it is possible to export to several formats, including CSV and HTML:
```
konsolekalendar --export-type CVS current.ics
```

Import a calendar:

konsolekalendar --import another.ics --file current.ics

In this case, all the entries from another.ics will be merged into current.ics.
