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
