cron - Schedule an action callback|Programmer puzzle solving

I have a function in which I want to send out emails of expiring account. Is there a way of scheduling a "doaction()" or similar. What I want is this:

 doaction('Something here', CheckMembershipRecords())
 function CheckMembershipRecords()
    {
    .... run through database and send emails.  
    }

It is the scheduling concept that I am not sure about or what even to call in the first parameter of the doaction call.

You're looking for wp_schedule_event which hooks into the WordPress cron. Cron's job is to run tasks periodically from the back end.
