Traditionally I think most people use cron
for that (call 'zopectl run my-update-script'
assuming you are using ZEO).

Alternatively, there is

     http://plope.com/software/ClockServer

now but AFAITC there is nothing CMF-specific
to support time-based manipulations (not even
using events at least not as long as you don't
provide "clock/time events" like "Now it's midnight,
a new day has started" that listeners could subscribe
to.
