By default publicholiday will check against UK public holidays. You can change
this by passing a supported country:

$ publicholiday -c Argentina && /thing/to/run.sh
# Run a script on all days that are not US public holidays
$ publicholiday -c US || /thing/to/run.sh
This utility uses the holidays pip package, to find out if your country is
