in reply to how can I automatically run the program every hour?

If you're looking to create a daemon (i.e. once you start up your script it runs in the background waiting every hour) you could use sleep to have the script wait 60 * 60 seconds (1 hour) and download the web page again (in an infinite loop, or provided some conditions are met, or whatever you wanted to do)
