Shalom rmedidi,

Such a script can reside anywhere on your system.

It must have the command /sbin/service start/stop to work.

You schedule it with cron.

man cron

crontab -l
#lists
crontab -e
#edits ! be careful

I would suggest reading chapters 10-12 of Mark Sobell's "Unix System V -- A Practical Guide". This is a college level textbook that I use in both my intro to unix and my unix scripting classes.

You'll also want to read up on the cron, at, sleep, and wait commands, depending on your actual scheduling needs.
