Automatic Updating

I was wondering if there is a way to get a MySQL database to automatically
perform procedures on a regular basis.

For example, say you developed a stock exchange program and wanted the
orders to be matched regularly after every specific time period, how would
you get the MySQL database to do that autonomously without a PHP or other
trigger?

Thanks in advance.

Cron (or its equivalent on your OS).
