 * So I’m wanting to create a script that will automatically send a HTTP Request
   after about 10 minutes. I’ve looked at the hooks and there’s a scheduler one 
   I found here: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_schedule_event](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_schedule_event).
   However, it states: “The action will trigger when someone visits your WordPress
   site, if the scheduled time has passed.” And I need this script to run every 
   10 minutes, whether or not a site has been visited. Is this possible with the
   plugin format WordPress has currently? What specific hook would I need to use
   to accomplish this? Thanks in advance.

 * *Bump* Is there perhaps another way to achieve this rather than make a plugin
   for WordPress? Maybe a PHP or javascript file that continuously runs?
