There are services that do it for you (i.e. periodically call your magic URL): http://www.onlinecronservices.com/ But be careful: this URL could be called by anybody and could even get indexed by Google. You might allow only certain IPs (ip of your online cron service) to call this URL to protect the app. There's also this "poor man's cron" approach, I've seen in Drupal: http://drupal.org/project/poormanscron - but it's a bit crazy.
