You can create a cron job to do that (by crontab command).

Asustor has somethink like task scheduler or maybe some apps exists?

No, I cannot find ADM UI to create user scripts / tasks. I can only create cron jobs through ssh session.

If I use crontab -e, crontab -i I get: " must be suid to work properly" what shoud I do?

I guess you might login to NAS through ssh with admin account. You should login as root (the password is the same as admin).

If I login as root a have permission to crontab, but i still don't know how add a job. if i type crontab -e i see 4 jobs but i cannot add anything

Oops, sound that you don't know how to use "vi" to edit a file.

If you are using Windows OS, I think you can install WinSCP (free software). You can get any NAS file to your Windows PC, then edit the file.

You'll need to setup a SFTP session to NAS (with root account) within WinSCP. And you need to enable SFTP service under NAS ADM web -> Services -> Terminal. Then, you can get NAS file: /volume0/usr/builtin/etc/crontabs/root.
You can edit this file in your PC, then put it back to NAS.

I suppose you know how to manipulate crontab format. You'd better to create your own script (contents with your "find" commands) and specify it in the "root" file. You can refresh cron jobs with "crontab /volume0/usr/builtin/etc/crontabs/root".
