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).
