    What you need first is to implement the logic of the task in your script and then just run the script with crontab. Use 

    crontab -e

    to edit your crontab file.

    Talking about zend, you can

    1)put the required code in one of you controllers

    or

    2) -create a folder "crons" in you project

    -put a new php script in this folder

    -put a cron job in your crontab file to run your script

    your crontab file may look like this

    30 18 * * * php /path-to-your-cron/cron.php
