a bit verbose, but you could start here - isWed.sh:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

if [ ${#} -ne 1 ];then
   echo "invalid number of arguments : ${0} YYYYMMDD"
   exit 1
fi

d="${1}"
# wed from cal
dayOFweek=4

YEAR=${d%????}
DAY=${d#??????}
MON=${d#$YEAR}
MON=${MON%$DAY}
echo $YEAR/$MON/$DAY

dow=$(cal "${MON}" "${YEAR}" | awk -v day="${DAY}" '
  FNR==2 {split($0,daysA)}
  FNR > 2 {
    for(i=1; i <= NF; i++)
      if ( $i == day) {
        #printf("day->[%d] row->[%d]\n", $i, FNR-2)
        #printf("%d\n", (NF == 7 || FNR!=3) ? i-1 : i+(6-NF))
        printf("%d\n", (NF == 7 || FNR!=3) ? i : i+(6-NF)+1)
        exit
      }
  }
')

if [ ${dow} -eq ${dayOFweek} ]; then
   echo yes
else
   echo no
fi
