Run a command every week with Cron?
That should do it:
5 8 * * 6 <user> <command>
or for readability
5 8 * * Sat <user> <command>
documentation (man 5 crontab
):
field allowed values ----- -------------- minute 0-59 hour 0-23 day of month 1-31 month 1-12 (or names, see below) day of week 0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)
Sat 8:05AM run find
# Minute Hour Day of Month Month Day of Week Command
# (0-59) (0-23) (1-31) (1-12 or Jan-Dec) (0-6 or Sun-Sat)
5 8 * * Sat /usr/bin/find
These answers are all correct, if you are unaware of how to use cron in the future, use one of many cron generators:
