You might actually want to let anacron handle that - I notice you have anacron in your crontab. The point of anacron is that it can make sure scripts that run with a frequency of days or weeks (not multiple times a day) will be run, even if the computer is not on 24/7 - unlike cron, where if the computer isn't on at 1AM, the job is missed.

Might even want to put periodic daily/weekly/monthly under anacron...
