Welcome to the forums!
A number of things is wrong (to start with):
1. a logical construct [ logical ] should have trailing/leading spaces, e.g.: if [ "$DAYOFWEEK" == 1 ]
2. numerical comparison within the [] should be done with -eq/-ge/-le/etc..., eg: if [ "$DAYOFWEEK" -eq 1 ]
3. the grouping of the logicals within the if, should be done as follows, e.g. if [ logical1 ] && [ logical2 ]
4. you're missing a 'closing' fi for your leading if - I bet your trailing doneshould be an fi
