You can set up a cron job to run a command on a schedule that you want. Here is one of many pages that explains that How to Set Up Cron Jobs on Linux (crontab Guide)

    Great, thank you. I heard about cron jobs when I first switched to Linux but got overwhelmed. Appreciate the link.

    This seems way more straight forward than i remember lol. I’m on Cachy, which apparently doesn’t have cron out of the box. Just installed cronie, ran crontab -e, and if I enter: 0 6 * * * * castget -c (with spaces between 0 6 * etc?) that’s it?
