It will work the same way as it did when run from the command line.

Note you mentioned that you *copied* the script from weekly to daily.
That means that once a week, it will run twice. You most likely want
to remove the weekly version. Also, your distribution is likely to
put the weekly version back if it's version changes or perhaps during
an upgrade. Nothing wrong, just be aware if it.
