Need help to create a date script

So I need to create a shell script that can take as input a numeric day, month and year and output the day of the week for the input date.

So let's say, I input "programname 19 10 2006" it should output Thursday... I tried messing around with the grep and awk commands, but I can't get it to work.

I'd appreciate any help.
