It's not pretty, but it's simple and works. 0.3.7 scripting style/code.
Code: 
function onStartUp()
    if os.date('%A') == "Sunday" then
        doCreateNpc("Rashid", {x = 11111, y = 11111, z = 11})
    elseif os.date('%A') == "Monday" then
        doCreateNpc("Rashid", {x = 22222, y = 22222, z = 22})
    elseif os.date('%A') == "Tuesday" then
        doCreateNpc("Rashid", {x = 33333, y = 33333, z = 33})
    elseif os.date('%A') == "Wednesday" then
        doCreateNpc("Rashid", {x = 44444, y = 44444, z = 44})
    elseif os.date('%A') == "Thursday" then
        doCreateNpc("Rashid", {x = 55555, y = 55555, z = 55})
    elseif os.date('%A') == "Friday" then
        doCreateNpc("Rashid", {x = 66666, y = 66666, z = 66})
    elseif os.date('%A')...

Updated version to include multiple npc's, since this thread was linked to semi-recently. xD

Every 5 minutes he changes position?

Or every time it changes to a new day he changes position?

Well w/e, just gonna assume you meant the latter

NPC's are created upon start-up, based on day.
If deSpawnOnNextDay = true those npcs are removed from the server whenever it moves to the next day. (up to 5 minute delay)
if deSpawnOnNextDay = false they are not removed until next server shutdown. (note: if server is online for 8+ days, you'll get double spawned npcs.)

Xikini , not every 5 minutes.
Function on start-up = create NPC only when do restart server.
If I don't restart server, NPC stay on position (etc. MONDAY) - two days not restart stay on monday position.
Sorry for my f**king ENG.

Maybe use function TIME, and removecreature (position prev) and createcreature (postionon next) ?

The original script already does this..

they spawn on start-up, and no other npc's will spawn regardless of how long the server has been up.

Server stays up for 5 days, and it'll stay monday npc

Ok.
I need a script where I won't do a restart of the NPC server and so it will be in an additional place.
This script work only startup.

Maybe change this to functiononTime and use time: "23:59" ?

Thanks but I am getting following error:
[Warning - Event::checkScript] Event onStartup not found. scripts/npctravel.lua

Tried adding
Lua: 
function onStartup()
to the script and error went away but rashid is not spawning

Are you sure you copied the entire script?
Because onStartUp is at the bottom.

Yes that's what I found odd.

Every 5 minutes he changes position?

Or every time it changes to a new day he changes position?
Post automatically merged:

Well w/e, just gonna assume you meant the latter

NPC's are created upon start-up, based on day.
If deSpawnOnNextDay = true those npcs are removed from the server whenever it moves to the next day. (up to 5 minute delay)
if deSpawnOnNextDay = false they are not removed until next server shutdown. (note: if server is online for 8+ days, you'll get double spawned npcs.)
Lua:
