If I have 2 C# pieces of code (VS Projects) witch return two XML docs . I want to program an automatic task what execute this 2 C# codes hourly and store the XMLs in order to keep updating the data .

Is it possible to do this in a Unix server ? with CRON? Is it better with a Windows server? I would like do it independently of the PC and I don't have experience programing and automatizing jobs/task . I have been reading about to use windows services with timer and Task scheduler but everything it's associated to a PC and I would like this would be independent but I'm not sure if it's possible.

How should I proceed?

You can use cron[^], but you will also need to install Mono[^] in order to use .NET applications in UNIX.
