`0 * * * * cd /home/$USER/Shreddit/; ./shreddit`
- Run at 3am every morning
`0 3 * * * cd /home/$USER/Shreddit/; ./shreddit`

Caveats
Caveats
-----------
-----------
- Only your previous 1,000 comments are accessable on Reddit. So good luck deleting the others. There may be ways to hack around this via iterating using sorting by top/best/controversial/new but for now I am unsure. I believe it best to set the script settings and run it as a cron job and then it won't be a problem unless you post *a lot*
