Under Linux you can use crontab to call a script that runs your code.
Your script could be something like:

#!/bin/bash
cd /idl_routine_path
idl -e your_routine

Under Windows you could use scheduled tasks to do something similar
but you have to create a SAV file.
Your 3th option is run the code in background. Using the command WAIT
you can do what you want. I combine this technique with the first one
to run some of my "invisible" IDL scripts to download and process data
every X time.
