Trigger actions independently of url request

Hi,

After reading the Django tutorial, my understanding (I hope I'm wrong) is that the only way to trigger a function of a Django app is when someone on the client side request the url related to that function.

But what if I want the server to run a function indenpendently of a url call, for example:
- every 10 minutes
- when a pre-defined combination of variables become true

Where should such code live?

Thank you.
Best regards,
Charley
