To schedule it on a daily base, you have to add a line to your /etc/
crontab file, e.g.:

00 22 * * * root /opt/interbase/bin/gbak -b -v -user ...

This schedules evey day of the week at 22:00, and gbak is run with the
privileges of root. You might want to have it run as another user
though.

You can read the crontab manual with "man 5 crontab".

As someone replied, with classic server this is not necessary.
As a general rule, you can control services with these commands:
(using apache as example)

/etc/init.d/apache command

and command can be: start, stop, restart and more.

have fun,
