So last time it run was last Saturday. The file is created just before the script runs. And after it runs, I see the script deletes the file if it is dated in the future.
But it really did not run till Monday.
...
There is an entry in the messages log file that should tell you the exact time it started; try: grep weekly /var/log/messages | less -S

Same as above. It started on Monday.
I don't understand...
My guess is that yours takes a long time to execute. You will not have "john" installed? It does a weekly test for weak passwords, and it may takes days to complete.
It does. It is still running as shown above. That is why I really need it to run on Saturday. I have not made an entry in the root crontab to try and force it to run on Saturdays. This really is strange.
It is indeed strange. It might be buggy. You could try touching the flag file to change the date to the previous saturday, to see if it runs on this saturday. It used to work with the daily jobs on previous versions... - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
