Russell,

It wouldn't be too difficult to write a simply shell script to figure this
out for yourself.  Something like a loop, foreach $day do; $day == $day++;
if $dayofweek != (Saturday|Sunday) then echo "first business day".

Note, my syntax is incorrect above, but you should get the general idea.
