Hi, I want to do some polling to fetch data from Yahoo Financial Service for my website to update stock quotes. I want this to work through out the day ( 6 hours ). How to do that ? I am using GoDaddy as my server. If its not possible, please recommend any other option. No heavy stuff is involved. I just need to fetch that data only which can be done with only one line of code and with even javascript. It needs to start without waiting for a visitor to visit the site.
A:
Why not add some code to your website that pulls the data from yahoo finance (using this) when the user visits your website

Because stock markets open at a specified time, so processing should start as soon as market opens.

could you please edit your post to be more specific. If I understand correctly, you want to show the latest stock price for a particular stock. Why not use the link I gave above, it'll give you the most recent price. If you don't want the stocks to show up in your site, then just add some code that checks the time then displays it when necessary

I want to do some processing as well, and this processing should start even if no user access the website.
