I have a Virtual Dedicated Server, how can I run an application periodically (ie: every Monday - 19:00). I mean, the application starts automatically at a given time.
Is there any way to do it with Java, Ajax, PHP? (sorry, I'm noob)

I'm assuming your server is linux. You may be able to do this with webmin. You will need to use command line to install webmin and setting up a crontab from command line is really not that hard to do.
Here is a tutorial for crontab. http://www.linuxweblog.com/crotab-tutorial
What OS does the server run?
You can create scheduled tasks in windows and cron jobs in linux/*nix like systems. If you can run programs on the server and want to use java you can use timers to schedule your task - here is a simple example.
