Read from script
Hi all.
I'm a newbie of bash scripting.
I need to create a script to have a rotate backup with 5 USB DISK on a work week.
With e2label, I've labelled all disk with all day of the week ( e.g. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday,... ).
How can I read if I've plugged the right device ?!?!
I find the right day with "date +%A".
Thanks a lot.

DESCRIPTION
This module provides routines to format dates. They correspond to the libc routines. &strftime() supports a pretty good set of coversions
-- more than most C libraries.
strftime supports a pretty good set of conversions.
The POSIX module has very similar functionality. You should consider using it instead if you do not have allergic reactions to system
libraries.
