How to schedule a search one day a week

How do I schedule splunk cron search to run Sunday's at 11:00 pm?

I thought it would be this

00 23 ? * 0

But splunk doesn't appear to support the ? character, which wikipedia says means don't specify the day of the month. I could use an asterisks but I'm guessing that means every day of the month.

try 0 23 * * 0

the 5th part is for the day of the week (0=sunday)

keep the third with a * it will be controlled by the condition on the day of week.

* * * * * command to be executed
