D C on "Script or wp-cron to change status from draft to publish"

Hey all,

I am looking for a script that will run on a hourly basis that will switch all posts in draft status to publish status. I know how to do this with a sql script to update the database, but that does not fully act like clicking the "Publish" button would do. So many of the script/hooks/etc are not fully run and thus any plugin that ties into those hooks are not run.

Anyone have an idea on how to do this?

Thanks in advance!
