Hi I am fairly new to drupal and i have a problem i have created a views bulk operation to unpublish certain nodes corresponding to a filter. I would however like this to be done at a certain time of the day everyday without my interaction. Is this possible using VBO and if not how would i accomplish this task. Thankyou for your help very much

Rules
Look at the rules module. You might be able to do this.
I looked on the rules module
I looked on the rules module but it does not allow me to filter the content in the way i would like which is why i used views. If there is a way to get the same filtering capabilities then could you please explain how thanks

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do. vbo does not automate actions and rules does not create views. Rules or core actions/triggers are the best way to automate doing things. Perhaps if you're more specific, you can get more specific assistance.
ok let me try to be as clear
ok let me try to be as clear as possible i have created a view to show top voted nodes of the site. I would however like to unpublish these items at a cretain time of the day every day. I would like the task of unpublishing these top nodes in my view to be automated at a particular time of the day every day. I hope i am being clear enough that my task is understood

This can be done with rules-- see the tutorials for several examples of publish/unpublish rules: http://drupal.org/node/298482
thanks WorldFallz i see in
thanks WorldFallz i see in rules where i am able to unpublish the node of a certain content type and setup a schedule to do this everyday but where would i filter my nodes based on the highest votes like i have in my view. As only the top 6 nodes should be unpublished

You would use conditions on the rule-- if the existing ones don't offer what you need, you can always use a php one.
thank again worldfallz but my
thank again worldfallz but my php is weak how would i filter all the nodes of a specific type by the top 5 highest voted nodes of that type. i am using drupalit to conduct the voting for the nodes

Sorry, i've never used the drupalit module and i'm no php expert-- maybe post that specific question to the module's issue queue.
