there are some fully automated ways :-) :
I. the command line hdate:
hdate -H 2010
will print all the holidays for the year 2010
II. a python/perl script using libhdate will generate a list of holidays:
an example of such a python script is attached in earlier post in this
discussion. here is a perl example:
# apt-get install libhdate-perl
#-------------------------------------------
use hdate;
$h = hdatec::new_Hdate();
hdatec::Hdate_set_gdate($h,1,1,2010);
$julian = hdatec::Hdate_get_julian($h);
for($i = 0; $i < 365; $i++) {
hdatec::Hdate_set_jd($h, $julian + $i);
$day = hdatec::Hdate_get_gday($h);
$month = hdatec::Hdate_get_gmonth($h);
$holyday = hdatec::Hdate_get_holyday_string($h, 1);
if ($holyday) {
print $day . "/" . $month . " " . $holyday . "\n";
}
}
