You can accomplish this easily by creating a program and invoking it using cron. Cron is a daemon that is similar to an reminder program. Just as you'd set a reminder to let you know about a recurring appointment in every Tuesday at 4pm, cron continually runs in the background of your operating system, checking your list of "to-do" list for dates and times to do something. So cron would be ideally suited for your needs. A short tutorial on cron is at http://tlc.perlarchive.com/0001/04.shtml Good luck!
