You mean something like cron? Usually you run these outside your container. E.g. using an orchestrator like Kubernetes.

You can also run cron-like as services as sidecar.

Finally some application just do these things implicitly, then you don't prevent that.

It's a best practice to go 1 process per container, but there are containers that don't obey this rule and work as well, but they are usually more complicated to handle on an orchestrator level.
