Schedule automatic summary backfill?

[the_wolverine]

I'd like to have summary backfill run on a scheduled basis to fill in the gaps automatically. I'd probably run this during non-peak hours to reduce any impact on the servers.

How can this be done?

Use the backfill script to add other data or fill summary index gaps
The fill_summary_index.py script backfills gaps in summary index collection by
running the saved searches that populate the summary index as they would have
been executed at their regularly scheduled times for a given time range.
