ogb-discuss is the wrong alias. so send this to 
opensolaris-disc...@opensolaris.org.

What you need is cron(1M)
see man cron for details.

This doesn't sound like a governance issue; redirecting to
opensolaris-discuss.

You can run scheduled tasks using cron.  See the crontab(1M) man page.
For example, this entry will make the /export/myscript program run
once a day at 8AM local time:

0 8 * * * /export/myscript

As for checking whether a directory is empty, it depends on the shell
you're using, but one way to check emptiness is with Perl:

perl -e 'opendir D, $ARGV[0]; $i++ while (readdir D); print $i\n;' \
   directoryname

That'll print 2 or less if the directory is empty.
