your script would look like this:

#! /bin/sh
# delete the super mario sound file
if [ -e "/location/of/the/file/music.raw" ]; then
        rm -f /location/of/the/file/music.raw
fi

make your script executable with the command:

chmod +x /where/you/put/the/script/scriptname

then to get crontab to run it (as root):

crontab -u root -e

This dumps you into vi.  You may or may not like this ;-)

Make your crontab entry by pressing the "i" key to enter Insert mode,
then typing:

00 18 * * * /where/you/put/the/script/scriptname

(This would make it run at 18:00 each day.  Check out the crontab
command for other options.)

Press Esc to exit from Insert mode, then type:

:wq

and press enter.  This will write the file and exit.
