is there an analog for it in Linux?

I had to look it up to find the FreeBSD man-page.
The leave utility waits until the specified time, then reminds you that you have to leave. You are reminded 5 minutes and 1 minute before the actual time, at the time, and every minute thereafter. When you log off, leave exits just before it would have printed the next message.
It's a very hard command name to search for, but I don't think it's normally packaged for Linux. However it's basically a single file in the BSD tree which seems to compile and run okay under Linux, if you go to: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/usr.bin/leave/ You can open leave.c then select download. Remove or comment line 42: __FBSDID("$FreeBSD$"); Then compile and enjoy your somewhat annoying reminder utility.
