I made a custom script that I want to put into the weekly system cron
job and according to my logs the script is not running weekly like it
should.

-rwxr--r--  1 root root    87 Aug  4 13:39 cool_script.sh

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.

Oct 20 03:01:02 localhost anacron[14161]: Anacron started on 2011-10-20
Oct 20 03:01:02 localhost anacron[14161]: Job `cron.weekly' locked by another an
acron - skipping
Oct 20 03:01:02 localhost anacron[14161]: Will run job `cron.daily' in 12 min.
Oct 20 03:01:02 localhost anacron[14161]: Jobs will be executed sequentially
Oct 20 03:02:01 localhost anacron[14151]: Job `cron.weekly' started
Oct 20 03:02:02 localhost anacron[14151]: Job `cron.weekly' terminated
Oct 20 03:02:02 localhost anacron[14151]: Normal exit (1 job run)
Oct 20 03:13:02 localhost anacron[14161]: Job `cron.daily' started
Oct 20 03:13:55 localhost anacron[14161]: Job `cron.daily' terminated
Oct 20 03:13:55 localhost anacron[14161]: Normal exit (1 job run)

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!
