>Description:
The description of weekly argument says it usually occurs on Sunday mornings:

     weekly   Perform the standard weekly periodic executable run.  This usu-
              ally occurs on Sunday mornings.

But both the default /etc/crontab and crontab from EXAMPLES section of periodic(8) are configured to run it on Saturday:

     15      4       *       *       6       root    periodic weekly
or
     0       3       *       *       6       root    periodic weekly
>How-To-Repeat:
man periodic
>Fix:
Change the sentence "This usually occurs on Sunday mornings." to "This usually occurs on Saturday mornings.".
