Answers.Text: If you have a command line command that is working I think you can simply set it up in a cron job. Options on how you would set the cron job depends on your server/hosting situation -- you can add cron jobs from the command line or through a GUI such as cPanel, and just tell the server to periodically run the `wget` command that you tested above.

  What have you tried using as the cron command when you tried to set that up, and/or what errors does it give? (Edit your question above with further information)
