linux display the day of the week of your birthday in 2050


How would I display the day of the week on a certain date in the future, using a Linux command (I'm guessing cal/ncal)? I've tried several things but can't find the solution, nor can I find any help in the man page.


Solution

  • Suggesting date command, with output format %A .

    $ date -d"2053-01-24" +%A
    Friday
    
    

    You can put any string that can be interpreted as date in -d""

    For example:

    date -d"+2 years +3 months -4 days" +"%F %A"
    2024-08-19 Monday
