  • There isn't. What you need to do is to set up a cron job that will call Apache, e.g. using lynx, or directly your script. Commented Oct 9, 2013 at 11:18

A Cron Job is what you are looking for, mostly your hosting provide you with this service, if you are using a dedicated server, you can generate a cron here http://www.generateit.net/cron-job/ or here is a little tutorial for it: http://www.linuxweblog.com/crotab-tutorial
