You could put such a thing in your crontab.

There are easy ways to script it, and such a script is a single command :-)

When using find like this I like to include a -prune to avoid recursing any 
further. This isn't so effective when your criterion (the .hg dir) is inside 
the natural prune point, but it can help.

However, find isn't really the best tool for this. Unless you are quite 
disorganised, I would expect that your repos are in well defined places. For 
example, I can find all my regular ones with the shell pattern:

  $HOME/hg/*

and the ones I'd be prepared to push automatically are even fewer, to the point 
that I'd probably just enumerate an explicit list of directories.

To that end I'd write a small shell script looking like this:

  #!/bin/sh
  for hgdir in $HOME/hg/css $HOME/hg/css-venti ...
  do
    echo "$hgdir"
    ( cd "$hgdir"
      hg push
    )
  done

and just run it from cron if that is your wish.

One thing to note about using cron is that the push will need to work without 
interaction from you. If you're using ssh, this will require that either you 
access your existing ssh-agent or that you have a special purpose 
passphraseless ssh key to use in this context.
