I'm playing with Revolution as a CGI engine with the scripts in

a script at specified intervals, for example, every Tuesday night at
ten o'clock.
Rev CGIs start up and run when they are called, then execute, and then
shut down. They don't stay running in between requests, so there would
be no way for the CGI to check the time unless it happened to be
running already for some other reason.
I have a couple of CGIs that do things on a timed basis, and the way
to implement this is to set up a cron job
HA, CRON job! Thank you very much :-)
on the server that calls the CGI periodically. In your case, you would
only need to set the cron job to execute once a week on Thursdays at
10 PM.
