Using cron job on codeigniter

Question

cotroller function:

function getFeed() {

    $content = file_get_contents($this->input->post('rss_url'));
    $x = new SimpleXmlElement($content);    

    foreach($x->channel->item as $entry) {
        $feeds[] = array(
            'title' => (string)$entry->title,
            'link' => (string)$entry->link,
            'username' => $this->session->userdata('username'),
            'rss_source' => $this->input->post('rss_url')
        );
    }

    $this->load->model('membership_model');
    $this->membership_model->insert_feeds($feeds);

}

model:

function insert_feeds($feeds_data)
{
    $this->db->insert_batch('feeds',$feeds_data);
}

I have a form where I put a feed url.

This feed url is stored into a database. The database looks like this:

- id (which is the primary key)
- title (title of every item from the xml file)
- link (of every item from xml file)
- username (the username who put the feed url into the form)
- rss_source (the url that the user puts into the form).

What I want to do is to make a cron job who insert every 2 days new rows in the database.

I must make another controller function like the getfeed function, who is getting the contents from the database rss sources and put them in new rows with the same model function?
