Calendar is generally started by cron. Either it consults ~/calendar or,
if started with a - switch, the calendar file for every user on the
system.
By default Suns come with a 'calendar -' entry in the root crontab, i.e
calendar is run for all users daily. Maybe both servers still have this
entry - which would explain 2 messages. To account for the third, do you
have a private crontab file with calendar in it ?
FM entries are
man calendar
man crontab
man 5 crontab
