Well, there were many more mail suggesting a single entry will do it.
I tested it and it works. So you can either set up a single entry in
the cron tab like
0 3 1-7 * 0 command (with appropriate redirection)
or
0 3 1-7 * * shell-script
where the script check for Sunday. You can also do it run on Sundays,
checking for first 7 days.
Thanks to all the replies.
