Hi,

Well, you can just run "rake features" from cron...

As for storing the results for graphing, you could make a custom
listener that stores the results in a CSV list.  You know
features_run,scenarios_run,passing_steps, etc etc.  Then you have a
little script that runs over the CSV file and feeds the data into a
graphing tool/lib.  You *could* actually do all of that from within a
formatter too if you want...just tally up the results and then at the
end build a graph from it.
