that with a servlet that calls .start() in the servlet init() method and
that servlet in loaded at start up via load-on-startup1/load-on-startup

this Thread class sleeps for 24 hours then

code snippet
Timer t = new Timer();
t.schedule(Task,Date,INTERVAL) // Task is an object that inplements
java.util.TimerTask
// Date object is the time to first run
// Interval is
