Hello You can try use external scheduling process (like cron in *nix or scheduler in windows, or simple application which would constantly check for certain condition to run a task). Your web application would write some marker (for example a row into a db, or 'touch' a file), scheduling process would check if there are any new tasks, and fire it if necessary.
