sending day of the week

[Kathy Young]

I have a system that wants the day of the week sent in the outbound message. I know that if I use the “date” command, I can see the day of the week. Is there any way to incorporate this into a tcl and send the day in my outbound message?

CL 3.8.1 on AIX 5.1

Thanks! Kathy

set day [string range [exec date] 0 3]

Sweet! Thanks. Bill

set day_of_week [clock format [clock seconds] -format “%A”]

Which looks more complicated, but eliminates having to exec another process just to get the date

This returns the full day of the week.  If you want just the 3-letter abbrevation (Sun, Mon, Tue, etc.), use the “%a” format code
