(Just my 0.02 cents)
Probably such an app would use timer to fire at intervals.
In the past I have done that (don't remember how), but then was sorry on the long run. My service app had a timer in it, and for no apparent reason it was deciding to stop after a while, with no recognizable pattern. One had to manually start the service again.
Then I created a C# based service instead as a wrapper that calls my app, it worked flawlessly provided set under correct identity. Later in the years, I converted that to be added to and run via windows scheduler. That one performed best (and much easier to debug in case something doesn't work).

And this one, ( surprised to see that it is using my FoxyClasses as a sample - although from outdated link :) https://www.coretechnologies.com/products/AlwaysUp/Apps/RunVisualFoxProAsAWindowsService.html
