okay, I got it. Kinda hacky with all the pipes:
vars:
"year" string => execresult("/usr/bin/date +%Y","noshell");
"month" string => execresult("/usr/bin/date +%m","noshell");
"last_day" string => execresult("/usr/bin/cal $(month) $(year) |
awk '{print $7}' | grep -E "^[0-9]" | tail -1","useshell");
classes:
"Last_Saturday" expression => classify("Day$(last_day)");
