It might vary by the system's version of date, but something like the following might work:

Code:

export my_date=$(date +'%w') 

if [[ $my_date = '0' ]] || [[ $my_date = '6' ]] 
then
...
fi

Code:

eval "$( date "day=+%w time=%H%M" )"
if [ $day$time = 52000 ] || [ $day -eq 6 ] || [ $day == 0 ]
then
  your_command
fi
