A: 

No, Triggers are dependent upon rows being inserted, updated or deleted. The only way that you could have a trigger fire every few hours is to create a separate table and insert a row every few hours. shahkalpesh is correct, this was not the intended functionality for a trigger

If you are using SQL Server you can use SQL Server Agent for doing repetitive jobs.
