I don't think you really need.

Sure.

You can run it as a task in the tasks directory, they work just like
cron. You follow the coding standard and add the information that sets
the time when the task runs (in your case, some time after midnight
every day), and you should IMHO have a cleaner system.

I have a weekly newsletter that's delivered using this tecnique.
