If you have the business logic in a servlet and want the servlet to execute at a given time you must make a client that accesses the servlet at a given time. That should be pretty straightforward. Either write a program that lies in the background and waits for the right time to execute or let cron do the job for you. Check the man pages for more information about cron.
But, why do you want you logic to be inside a servlet. What not have it inside a normal program? The code inside the servlets do-methods only get executed when the servlet container gets a request for that particular servlet.
