The unix "leave" command

I'm taking a survey.

The Unix "leave" command waits a certain amount of time then prints "it's time to leave" on your terminal. I've seen it on FreeBSD but not other systems. Could readers take a moment to see if it is included with your distro/whatever and let me know? (Just type "which leave" and tell me if you get an answer).

So far:

Solaris: No

Cygin: No

FreeBSD: Yes

Update: Thanks, folks! That's all I needed.

Help my Google-fu

In the last year (maybe last 6 months) there was a study that found that people that don't set goals are less successful than people that do set goals. It got a lot of press because people were saying, "Duh! They got a grant for that? How about a grant to find out if water is wet?"

I'm looking for references to the article/study/paper. This is for something I'm writing about goal setting, actually, which I feel is a very important part of time management.

What makes this a challange is that Googling for "study" or "goals" or "success" results in a million hits related to other things.

Thanks,
Tom

Would you buy a tshirt that simply says "SLUT"?

What about "Let's pretend you're good looking"?

What about "Nobody wanted to fuck John Hurt in 1991"?
