A Cron job is one way to schedule jobs. Google setting up a cron job. It's something like
crontab -e
Alternatively put a script in /etc/cron.daily, /etc/cron.weekly and it will get scheduled by anacron at the interval appropriate to the directory. It guarantees that the script gets run even though the computer wasn't turned on at the appropriate time.
