What's the recommended way to run a periodic task from within a WO application? In this case its infrequently (hourly) and independent of any web requests.

Thanks

If you are deplying on Mac OS X or will be running this from a Mac, you should at least look at launchctl.


launchctl(1) - Interfaces with launchd
launchd(8) - System wide and per-user daemon/agent manager
launchd.conf(5) - launchd configuration file
launchd.plist(5) - System wide and per-user daemon/agent configuration files


You can have it call any script or executable and there are quite a few things it can do.
