man 5 anacrontab

Oddly enough, it's not disimilar to format of /etc/crontab which I have
already described.  IIRC, you wanted something weekly:

7   10  cron.weekly     nice run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly

All you would need to do then, is drop a shell-script into
/etc/cron.weekly, and it would get run along with any other scripts
already placed there.
