This does look like homework and it is urgent......... Two things we don't like to see here at LQ.

Here's a hint that could be of use: Take a look at the cal program, which you could use as base for your script.

Hope this helps.

Using GNU date:

date -d '10/20/2009' "+%A"

Your handle is inconsistent with your behavior. Start blazing. It's your homework, your responsibility, your life.

I already encountered a similar problem to this in a different thread before:
