vcal2pal

About

vcal2pal is a small awk script to convert vcal calender files into a calendar file for the pal calendar program.

It was adapted from vcard2pal by Juho Rutila.

Dependencies

vcal2pal is written in awk, which is probably installed on every existing unix system anyway, so there are no dependencies.

Usage

Using vcal2pal is really simple, as it doesn't have any options…

You feed it some vcal formatted events either on stdin or give it the filenames of files which it should read and put the output of the script into a file which you then give to pal.

As vcal2pal needs no interactive input, you can also call it from cron or a makefile to always have an uptodate pal file generated from your calendar.

Copying

vcal2pal is released under the GNU GPL version 3 or later. The full legalese is:

This script is adapted from Uli Martens vcard2pal script.

This script converts ical calendar events to pal output.
Usage: vcal2pal ical.ics > personal.pal
