execute
Code:
crontab -l > crontab

edit crontab with some type of text editor (vi).
add a line at the end like this:
Code:
0 8 * * 6 solevel > /dev/null 2>&1

execute
Code:
cron crontab

to have the new commands take effect

you'll most likely want to replace solevel with the the full path to the command, ie /usr/bin/solevel and you'll want to change the output to actually go somewhere useful instead of the trash bucket.
