Can you try this:

Code:
 cal 11 11|awk 'NR>2{if(NF==7){sun++}; if(NF>0){last=NF}} END{if(last>=1 && last!=7){sun++};print sun}'

This is to count number of sundays

Code:
cal 08 11|cut -c1-2|awk '{print $1}'|grep [^" "]|grep -v [a-Z]|wc -l

just an alternative to kumaran_5555, a little easier to unstand the code.
