Hello,

I've only had to deal with doing this on a shared hosting, so the
solution might be different than on your dedicated host, but you can
set up something called a cron job, which will run a script at a
particular time, or interval. I use a simple interface, through my
host's control panel, but you can also program cron jobs through the
command line.
