Trigger a function in CakePHP

Question

I'm trying to build an "intelligent" RSS-Reader by using CakePHP + SimplePie. In my admin section, when I add a link, my function save the link to the DB and then extract all links from the rss feed and then store them in the DB. My problem now, is that I want to execute that action every once in while to populate the DB with new links.

Is it possible to do it with CakePHP..??

Answer 1

Make a shell and use a cronjob to execute it at the interval you need.
