Run a job once a week on Heroku

My site is hosted on Heroku, I need to run the task once a week. The scheduler application allows me to run tasks once a day ... can I change this anyway?

My site is written in Ruby on Rails.

Check if it is Monday, and do not complete your task otherwise.

Time.now.wday
=> 2

0: sunday .. 6: saturday

Or do the same check from the scheduler task

test `date +%w` -eq 2 && rake ...

Again 0: Sunday ... 6: Saturday
