I've never had to do this, but it seems hard using only cron. You may  
have to add smarts to the program being run (or a small wrapper  
around this program).

You should be able to solve your problem without adding smarts to  
your program by using "at". Schedule two jobs; one that executes your  
job, and another that schedules it and itself to run again in 14  
days. "man at" for details.
