[rt-users] Day of the week

[Tomáš Sára]

This shows no errors but instead of writing the day of the week into log 
file it writes "0". I'm not sure what "localtime" is. Is it the variable 
containing the local time? Something like:
  my $localtime = my $now = RT::Date->new($RT::SystemUser);
  $now->SetToNow;
Or should I write there just "localhost"? None of this seem to work.

Do you have any ideas what to do?
Thank a lot,
Tom.
