If you are doing transactional replication and don't have anymore new subscribers, you can disable the snapshot agent, as there's no need for it to run. You can schedule the distribution agent, from the 'replication monitor' on the distributor. Just right click on the agent, go to properties. I don't have Enterprise Manger in front of me to walk you through.

Let your logreader agent run continuously or else you'll have problems with transaction log growth.
