A guide to scheduling web applications to run on a regular basis

Yes, you can use the Web Scheduler built into Helm to accomplish this.

To configure this you will need to start by logging into the control panel with your username and password.

Now you will need to click on the Domains icon and then select the domain name you wish to edit.

Now click on the Web Scheduler icon located at the bottom of the screen.

Click on the Add New button at the bottom of the list to add a new web schedule.

Now select a name for the task and then select the domain name the script is on from the drop down. You can only select domains hosted by your accounts. Then fill in the path and the script name and select a schedule.
