Wild Guess:

You are using cron and have the settings in your crontab incorrect.

For example:
* * * * * 0 /full/path/to/your/spam/script

This would attempt to execute the script on Sundays.  EVERY MINUTE, during
Sunday, however.

Disclaimer: I probably got the *'s and 0 mixed up a bit.  I'm not a crontab
expert.
