My search end here...
Hope this will do Smilie
Code:
30 21 1-7 * sun /usr/local/<restart.script.sh>

Please ignore "./hari.sh" post. The cron will fire on every day 1-7 AND on every Sunday. There is a similar example in "man crontab".

The best technique has already been described. i.e. Run the cron on days 1-7 and check whether it is a Sunday.
