But for that you need to know when is the shabat enter a specific

and date for each week for that.
I agree that you can execute it like so, but it requires a bit more
work
then what you are pointing out imho.
Hebcal gives me the date and time for candle lighting and havdala
like so:
sa...@zeraim:~$ hebcal -C jerusalem -cerm 42
1.1.2010 Candle lighting: 4:06
2.1.2010 Havdalah (42 min): 5:28
8.1.2010 Candle lighting: 4:11
9.1.2010 Havdalah (42 min): 5:34
(42 minutes for havdala, default is 72)
etc... for the whole year. You can also get a specific date. I
haven't yet figured out how to get it to give me "this week", but
simple enough to parse the date out of the output.

Not quite in the same context but this works for me:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$today=`date -d "next friday" +"%m %d %Y"`;
#printf("%s\n",$today);
$candles = `hebcal -c -o -Z israel -C Jerusalem $today`;
printf("%s\n",$candles);
$tomorrow=`date --date="next saturday" +"%m %d %Y"`;
#printf("%s\n",$tomorrow);
$havdala = `hebcal -c -o -m 38 -Z israel -C Jerusalem $tomorrow`;
printf("%s\n",$havdala);
