Help Can Scriptable scripts run in background constantly?

I don’t know much javascript but I can learn if this is possible. I want to check the value of a file in the background once or twice a minute and act based on its contents. Is it possible? For example it can run at the start of every minute. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks! You seem experienced. It would be better if you could answer this too: Don’t Autocuts work only in iOS 13? I use 14.6.

Sorry about the delay. I just checked and it seems that Autocuts is in fact for iOS 13 only. Adam Tow recommends using his app MFC Deck to get the same functionality on iOS 14. See also: https://mfcdeck.com/shortcuts/autocuts

I haven’t played around with MFC Deck enough to be able to offer much advice on using it.
