Maybe I'm getting it wrong, but is dcron the one that runs the
cron.hourly/daily and so on folders as the crontab in the wiki with
reference to that default crontab for dcron, not cronie

I made a custom script that I want to put into the weekly system cron

According to my information the permission are correct as only root
should be able to run system cron jobs.
This is the only thing I have seen in my logs.

I do not have Anacron installed, and my script does not run weekly like
it is supposed too, I would like fix this problem.
Any suggestions are welcome!

Are you using cronie, dcron or some other cron? cronie provides anacron.
I do have Cronie installed but I am still wondering why the script won't
run if put in the weekly cron folder. My understanding is the
documentation is a little week concerning this topic on the Wiki. Do I
need to fill a bug report, or is something out of place.
