WeekDay=`date %+w`
if [ $WeekDay -ge 1 -a $WeekDay -le 4 ]
then
script1
else
if [ $WeekDay -eq 5 ]
then
script2
fi
fi

...could be simplier with case, but this came first to me :)

Regards,

Fred

Hi there,

With the "date +%u" you get the day of the week. Monday is 1, Tuesday is 2 ..... Sunday is 7.

We can do this as,

# Get day information
Day=$(date +'%a')

if [[ "$Day" = "Mon" || "$Day" = "Thu" ]]
then

# Execute script 1

elif [[ "$Day" = "Fri" ]]
then

# Execute script 2

fi
