Making a feed checker

[arnab321]

im planning to make a feed checker as a server side application. it would check for new feeds in a specified interval and mail the new feeds to an email address. but it needs to check in a regular interval WITHOUT any external intervention. is it possible?

Yep. You need to run a chron script. It will run on the server at whatever time(s) you tell it to and do what you tell it to do.
