Operating Systems HP-UX Find Day of Week Post 302731507 by rwuerth on Thursday 15th of November 2012 08:08:34 AM

Thanks for the replies. I should state, that this is just a fun exercise thing, it's not for production use.

The gist of the problem is can one tell the day of the week if given a valid date in a "one liner", using the posix shell, cal and awk in HP-UX?
perl is not allowed because it can be done easily in perl.

"One Liner" is defined to allow for previously set variables.

So my "script" above is just a test bed for my one liner.

I feel pretty good about it, and was hoping to see if anyone could break it with valid date input, before I submit it to my friend and tell him where he's taking me to lunch! (oh yeah ... lunch is riding on this one) :-)
