try running something like this every thursday (you'll have to have a seperate entry for monday, I don't think the default Bourne shell that cron uses has a case/esac statement):

Code:
* * * * 4 FLAGFILE=/var/tmp/FlagFileNameThatIsUnique; [ -f $FLAGFILE ] && rm $FLAGFILE || (/path/to/script/to/be/run; touch $FLAGFILE)
ensure that that is all on one line in the crontab file. You may want to test it's logic using the shell that cron uses which is usually /bin/sh.
