Is there any support in fava for running a script/function automatically at set intervals?

I have a few use-cases for this, but the one which comes to mind most is automatically generating balance statements for a set of accounts every week/month.

Do you need something in fava? I just use cron to achieve this. I do a bunch of stuff in my "update.sh"

Run bean-price, run importers, run bean-format (because I have OCD), look for vacation transactions that aren't tagged with the name of the vacation, look for flagged transactions (to make sure I eventually unflag them), look for single links (^something) because that's never what I intend, and then run borg to back up everything.

I'd prefer something in fava because that's what I'm running on pythonanywhere, and cron could potentially interrupt the git hooks I also use (I prefer git to borg for this purpose).
