This sounds like a job for cron:

man cron
man crontab

If the job needs to get infomation which is held in Zope, you'd need to
write a small HTTP client in Python which gets the info it needs by
querying the Zope server just as if it was a web browser being driven
by a human, formats it, and sends the email.

Another approach would be to look into xmlrpc.

But understand: the client works _outside_ of Zope. This is necessary
to run it as a cron job, which is the best way to run a timed process
under Unix/Linux.

Good luck!
