You should have all you need. This kind of task is exactly what cron was designed to do.

Just google "cron" or "cron tutorial" or "cron examples" to get exact step by step ways of doing what you need. You could run "man cron" too, but that will probably be a bit of an information overload for what you need, but ultimately will contain the answer as well.
