You'd have to run the harvesting requests via something like cron:

Options:

1./ HTTP POST request harvests a CSW:

https://github.com/geopython/pycsw/blob/master/tests/suites/harvesting/post/Harvest-csw-run1.xml

2./ HTTP GET

http://example.org/csw?service=CSW&version=2.0.2&request=Harvest&resourcetype=http://www.opengis.net/cat/csw/2.0.2&source=http://example.org/csw2

3./ The example cron job harvests already harvested resources (via 1
or 2 above).

Having said this, Option 3 may need updating, so I would suggest you
try Option 2.

Hope this helps.
