Hello,

read man cron, man crontabs.

You must edit the cron file as follows (provided you are logged in as root):

crontab -e

Now you are in vi editor, add the line

0 21 * * 0 absolute_path_to_script

and store it. This will cause the script to run every Sunday at 9 o'clock PM.

Regards

Almost correct. Each account has its own set of cronned jobs, so anyone should be able to run crontab -e, not just the root account.
