Was this the source or inspiration for astro(1)? Ken’s astro was run daily to announce
things in the Unix room, and in my home up until recently to time turning on the lights in the
evening. (My home still does the Unix-room style astro announcements, but in the morning
at 8:05).
It is available in the Plan 9 for Unix stuff (https://codeload.github.com/9fans/plan9port/zip/master <https://codeload.github.com/9fans/plan9port/zip/master>)
