This is how I do it every Friday night...

In /etc/crontab:

    # Run cvsup every Friday night at 10:00 pm.
    0   22   *    *    5    root    /usr/local/bin/cvsrun | sendmail root

(Note: change the fifth field ("5") to "*" to get it to run every night.
Change the sendmail target to whatever user you want the email sent to.)

Then, create an executable file /usr/local/bin/cvsrun:

    echo "Subject: `hostname` weekly cvsup run"
    echo "Content-type: text/html"
    echo ""
    echo ""
    echo "<PRE>"
    /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 /usr/src/stable-supfile
    echo "</PRE>"

This should get you started.
