Example1:

Create a task for the opportunity owners who's opportunity is not closed even close date cross the close date.

Note: Schedule and Batch classes always should be Global.

global class RemindOpptyOwners implements Schedulable {

    global void execute(SchedulableContext ctx) {
        List<Opportunity> opptys = [SELECT Id, Name, OwnerId, CloseDate 
            FROM Opportunity 
            WHERE IsClosed = False AND 
            CloseDate < TODAY];
        // Create a task for each opportunity in the list
        TaskUtils.remindOwners(opptys);
    }
    
}

//Code from Salesforce.com - Trailhead

Note: TaskUtils.remindOwners(opptys); is creates a task for the owners.

Now, Autorun the jobs for every Monday at 2 am.

RemindOpptyOwners reminder = new RemindOpptyOwners();

String sch = '0 30 8 10 2 ?';
String jobID = System.schedule('Remind Opp Owners', sch, reminder);
