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.
