[mdlug] Extracting the day of the Week in BASH

[Robert Adkins]

    My Google-Fu seems to be composed of weak sauce today.

    I am rewriting some scripts and due to the nature of what they do, I 
would be best served to be able to pull up the actual name of the day in 
order to properly organize the final resting place of some data.

    Anyone know either the variable that returns the actual day of the 
week or a very short script to extract the day of the week?

    Thanks,
    Rob
