Why does it have to be a servlet? Just code any old Java program and run
it as a cron job... It's not on topic for this discussion so I'd check
for specifics elsewhere.
Otherwise, you could setup the servlet so that it is loaded with the web
server and as part of the init create a separate Thread that runs
alongside the actual servlet and does what you say at specific intervals.
Hope that helps
