Hi Boss...
There is a tool called cron daemon which is like a scheduler in Windows. Here u can use hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly schedules. the folder is in /etc/cron.d. What distribution u r having? If it is 7.2 u may get more folder like cron.daily, cron.hourly, etc. Try it your self...
If u fails... we'll do it for u..
Bye
