With the vShpere client it is possible to create snopshots manually. Is there a way to trigger snapshots of of a running vm (ESXI 4.1) by a scheduled batch job ?

You could use the vSphere PowerCLI. It's a powershell plugin.

To create a snapshot, you would need to do the following:

add-pssnapin VMware.VimAutomation.Core
Connect-VIServer -Server myVSphereServer
get-vm myVMName | new-snapshot -name "My New Snapshot"
