Yes.  Run them from a cron job.  To see what cron jobs look like go to the
shell and type:

cat /etc/crontab

I suggest not touching the system cron files.  Instead create a cron file
for user "root".  Login as root and with your favorite editor creat a file
/root/cron_master and put lines in it like:

05              02              *       *       *       . /path_to/lionfind

and then save it.  The above line says to run lionfind at 2:05 AM everyday
and should email the results to you.  If you didn't want the results emailed
to you the line would look like:

05              02              *       *       *       . /path_to/lionfind
> /dev/null 2>&1

To reload root's cron file do:

crontab /root/cron_master

To verify it's loaded do:

crontab -l

or

cat /var/spool/cron/root

Type "man crontab" or search on google.com for "cron job" for more info.
