You could start by omitting unnecessary string interpolation as you do
with RUNLOG all the time.

Also, why don't you put the weekday hash into a constant as well?
Btw, you could use an Array for this as well.

DAYS = %w{Sun Mon Tue} # ...

Other than that right now I don't have the time to further analyze
your example (which also seems to be missing something, e.g.
definition of die_mtd).

FileUtils.touch throws an exception if it fails.  I believe you should
make yourself familiar with the concept of exception handling before
diving further into this project.

Kind regards
