Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to calculate the day of the week (ie - mon,
tues, wed, etc...) for a date in the past using ksh.
How can I do this?
I have a script that works if I want to use todays date, but I need to feed
in a date in the past in the format mm/dd/yy and get the day of the week.
I have to use KSH because I have a large script in KSH and this needs to be
part of that.
I do not know perl.

Thanks in advance!

Here is my sample code:

DAY=`/usr/bin/date|awk '{print $1}'`
if [[ $DAY == "Mon" ]]
then
echo "prior business day is Friday"
fi

CODE I NEED:

DATE=12/31/04
# NEED CODE HERE TO TELL ME WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK $DATE IS.
