You can run a shell script in a remote machine using ssh. )You should have already initialized ssh in the remote machine.)

Take a look at cron. It can run scripts at regular time intervals. You'll need to have root access in order to set up a cron job, though.

That depends on your Linux distribution. I'm running Slackware 9.1, and one uses crontab to edit one's crontab file; each user has his own file. This can be run by any user.
