Usually /etc/crontab file contains configuration for cron daemon, which schedule scripts or programs according to it.
To automate running scripts at 4:30am every day you must write string to crontab file something like:
30 4 * * * * user /home/user/script.sh
First column - minutes, second - hours (24-h format)
You can setup any time to within 1 minute (if you need seconds - you can run 'sleep' or so at the script).
