# --- cut here and save as checkholiday.rem:
# Don't run on weekends
IFTRIG Sat Sun
EXIT 1
ENDIF
# Pull in list of holidays
INCLUDE list_of_holidays.rem
# Don't run on holidays
IF isomitted(today())
EXIT 1
ENDIF
# Otherwise it's OK to run
EXIT 0
# --- end of checkholiday.rem
Then in your shell script:
remind checkholiday.rem && run_time_consuming_task
