Re: Have LC Call another program to run at specific time intervals
Yes. The shell function can run command line apps, the launch command can launch GUI apps. LC has extensive features for time.
One of the simplest ways to have something happen at a specified interval is to use the "send <command name> in <interval> seconds". See the Dictionary entry for the send command for details.
