For me it does not work on bash.
cal -m 03 2013 gives sunday as 1 day.
Ubuntu 12.04

I guess its duplicate thread?

No,
Cal -m command

I want to make Monday as first week of the month when I use cal command.

Cal -m makes it on Linux, but not un SunOS

What exactly is the purpose of keeping Monday as the first day of a week? May be if the purpose is shared, forum members could provide an alternate (or better/efficient) solution.
