If you care about the *particular* time that a job runs, rather than just wanting to make sure it gets run once in a certain period, cron.daily and cron.weekly are not for you. Instead, drop a file in /etc/cron.d with the traditional
0 4 * * sat root yourcommand.sh
syntax (in that example, to run yourcommand.sh as root at 4am on Saturdays).
