And tidier still to avoid the rat's nest of test backticks echo.

Code:
case $dow in
  $cld) 
    echo Its Cold for $sid at $c_dst
    $jobroot/scripts/abc.sh $sid COLD $c_dst;;
  $hot)
    echo Its Hot for $sid at $h_dst
    $jobroot/scripts/abc.sh $sid HOT $h_dst;;
  *)
    echo No backup for $sid today;;
esac

This assumes some things about how $dow and $cld and $hot are set up; you might need to tweak this if they are not simply one-to-one, but you get the idea. This is IMHO much more readable, as well as more efficient.

If $dow is the numeric day of the week and the values of $cld and $hot are something like 7 (signifying Sunday) and 135 (Mon Wed Fri), then perhaps

Code:
case $cld:$hot in
  *$dow*:*)  echo it's cold;;
  *:*$dow*)  echo it's hot;;
  *) echo it's not;;
esac
