On *nix machines, there's something called cron. It's very helpful for doing daily builds for testing purposes. Actually, it's good for anything that needs to be run by automation. Test automation, build automation, scheduled tasks, ibid et al.
The whole deal with cron jobs are that you have crontabs, where a crontab is a file that describes when it should be run, where mail should be sent to in case of output or errors. It will pinpoint the minute, hour, day of week, month, and the like. Also you give the script or command to automate. To see a more definitive description, check the man pages.
This makes your life a lot easier.
