Well, you can use the 'cal' command to get a calendar for a particular
month, which includes previous years... goes back quite a ways in fact ;)
Not very useful in a script, but I'm guessing what you want doesn't
necessarily need to go in a script.

Subject: Day-Of-Week Command or Script

Is there an AIX command that shows the day of the week for any given date?
For example...

      If I enter: command 04/01/03
      Return: Tue, April 1, 2003

If not, does anyone have a script that accomplishes this?

Thanks.
