Since you mention Terminal. . .

man cron

You will need to set up a line of text and install it with crontab. It will execute a UNIX executable you specify at any time you want. That can open an application or run an AppleScript one of which ought to have a link to an indexing request. Well - we are talking about OS neXt here. . . How does one do it from System Preferences or Finder?
