Hi,
If you want to run the job as root, then become root and then edit your current cron jobs using:
#crontab -e
Add the line:
0 7 * * 1 path_to_script
where path_to_script means the absolute path to your script.
Save changes.
That's it.

I would also add at the end of the line of the cron job:
>/dev/console 2>&1
>/dev/console 2>&1

And don't forget to make sure that whatever environment variables ($PATH etc) the job needs are set explicitly as cron doesn't have it's own. Do a search in this forum for examples, as this is one of the commonest problems people tend to get with cron (an example solution is at Thread80-139586). HTH.
