So maybe if we were to understand more fully what you intend, we may be
able to answer your question.

For instance, if you want to have the program run automatically at a given
time/day and you are in Unix environment, you may wish to look at CRON.
If in Windows, Windows Scheduler.

If you want the program to "Automatically" run when called by another
program, in Windows you can create a batch script. In unix, Shells are at
least one way to go.

So, you see, the definition of "Automatically" needs more explaination as
to how you mean.
