Second the recc for using cron. I used a tutorial I found at http://blogchuck.com/?p=22
You will need to define the actions you want performed in a controller file, then add a crontab entry to call it. Your crontab entry will look something like: 0 0 0 0 0 /usr/bin/php /path/to/cron_dispatcher.php controllername/ action Check out the cron manual to see how to set the times when it runs.
