I've installed a graphical Calendar application, but I'm not sure how to start it from the command line. I'm using Lubuntu with an Openbox session. What command should I use to launch the app, and are there terminal commands for simply viewing a calendar or today's date?

On some desktop environments, you can find the launch command by opening a process viewer such as `top`, starting the Calendar app, and checking which process appears. For GNOME Calendar, the executable is usually `gnome-calendar`.
For the graphical GNOME Calendar app, run `gnome-calendar` in the terminal. The exact command depends on the application you installed, so you can also check the desktop application’s launcher entry if that command doesn’t work.

Thanks, `gnome-calendar` works on my Lubuntu system with Openbox.
