Untested but I would approach it by creating a new time_period
definition that was just the time every day of the week that you want it
to run then assign that as the check_period for your service. Combine
that with a normal_check_interval of 1440 (24 hours) and I would expect
one check per day at that time. You may want to give a small window in
the timeperiod for the scheduler to work with. I can't think of any
reason why that wouldn't work.
