Hi All,Id like to know how to run a process on an interval basis, say, every hour, or every 2 hours.

The Activiti way to do this is using a timer start event: http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#bpmnTimerStartEvent

Is it possible to read timer event properties from external properties file and to change timer settings without deploying new process version?

No, that's currently not supported. The timers are handled by inserting a row in the ACT_RU_JOB table, with a given date stamp on which it will be executed. But changing the expression, no that is not posible out of the box.
