many solutions...
Giving you 2 here
1)using any variant of dummy file e.g.
the crontab file runs every sundays.
Since this sunday will be the first and you want it to run:
You job tests presence of dummy file ( not there yet)
no dummy file, so execute the job -and creates the dummy file
the next sunday, if dummy file present (should be the case...), no execution but removes dummy file.
and so on...
2) a self scheduling at job (with at now + 14 days)

mrtg-sensors

MRTG-SENSORS(1) 					       MRTG helper utilities						   MRTG-SENSORS(1)

NAME

       mrtg-sensors - Returns data from lm-sensors

SYNOPSIS

       mrtg-sensors [-m multiplier] chip label [chip label]

DESCRIPTION

       mrtg-sensors uses the lm-sensors library to query various system sensors for information such as temperature, fan speed, etc. The output is
       written in a form useful as input for the mrtg utility.

       Up to two pairs of chips and labels may be specified. The first is used for the incoming data value in mrtg, while the second is used for
       the outgoing data value. Of course, they need not correspond to incoming or outgoing data, that is merely what mrtg expects.

       "chip" is the name of the chip to query, and "label" is the label of the piece of information that should be queried from the given chip.
       sensors(1) can be used to look up all available chips and labels on your system.

       Wildcards may be used in chip names, but only the first matching chip will be queried.

       If you use the special name "dummy" as a chip name, nothing will be queried, and a value of zero will be sent to mrtg.

       -m is the multiplier to be used in the output. The default multiplier is 1. Note that you may find it more useful to use sensors.conf(5) to
       set global multipliers for sensors.

EXAMPLES

       mrtg-sensors dummy dummy adm9240-* fan2
	   Get the speed of fan #2 from the adm9240 chip.

       mrtg-sensors -m 0.5 adm9240-* fan1 adm9240-* fan2
	   Get the speeds of both fan #1 and fan #2, halfing both.

       mrtg-sensors -m 2 dummy dummy adm9240-* temp
	   Get the cpu termerature, and double it.
