daily

Currently, every day before I start work, I complete the following procedure:

ssh to the production server
gzip our daily database dump file
scp the gzipped dump file over to my computer
gunzip the dump file
dropdb mydatabase
createdb mydatabase
psql mydatabase < dump.sql

Is it possible (I'm sure it is) to automate this process on Mac OSX? This way it is done by the time I get to work in the morning. If so, what is the quickest and easiest way?
