Run Swift script periodically

Question

I'm writing Swift script and want to run it automatically. For example, I want my script to clean Downloads folder every week or on schedule. How I can do it?

Wouldn't be a *real* script language (bash, python, AppleScript) the better choice? — vadian, Jul 28 '17 at 16:08
There's nothing swift-specific to this question. It's a duplicate of questions in other stacks, and not on-topic here. — Kuba hasn't forgotten Monica, Jul 28 '17 at 21:12

First you have to be able to run swift from terminal, see here Then you can create an cron task to execute it periodically.

(But I think Swift is not a good choice for this kind of job)
