Im working on a game which requires a script to be run each hour (i.e. each hour this script is run which updates the game information). This type of game is called a 'tick-based' game if that helps.

I am trying to find out how to do this, do I need a seperate program running on my server which calls this script every hour and if so how do I go about doing that?

Im just looking for someone to point me in the right direction on this one. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Cheers.
