You can drop an executable script in /etc/cron.weekly (to have it 
executed by cron run-parts) or put it in a user's crontab (can be root).

Use:
crontab -e

to edit the current user's crontab.  Enter the following to have it run 
at 12:00AM on Mondays, for example:

0 0 * * 1 /path/to/foo.sh

For reference, here are the columns:

*     *   *   *    *  command to be executed
-     -    -    -    -
|     |     |     |     |
|     |     |     |     +----- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0)
|     |     |     +------- month (1 - 12)
|     |     +--------- day of month (1 - 31)
|     +----------- hour (0 - 23)
+------------- min (0 - 59)
