You use the API the platform gives you for task scheduling.. i.e. for Windows you would use the TaskScheduler with TASK_TRIGGER_MONTHLY. There really isn't a cross platform manner to do this.

And on linux you would use cron http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron

Worked on titles: CMR:DiRT2, DiRT 3, DiRT: Showdown, GRID 2
