Run a command every week with Cron?

Run a command every week with Cron? Simple question- what would a crontab entry look like for a command I want to run every week on Saturday at 8:05 AM?

"These answers are all correct, if you are unaware of how to use cron in the future, use one of many cron generators:

"You can also do like this:

Change crontab:

5 8 * * * <user> cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily

And put all your command scripts in this directory /etc/cron.daily. Make sure that you have added the execution rights for them."
