R has such a function (called auto.arima in forecast package):
auto.arima Fit best ARIMA model to univariate time series

I'm not aware of any such script, although that doesn't mean that
such a script doesn't exist somewhere.
However, my understanding is that TRAMO -- which is available in a
form compatible with gretl, see for example
http://gretl.sourceforge.net/win32/ -- does this sort of thing
(automatic ARIMA model selection). But (I may be wrong) TRAMO
probably does not handle intra-day "seasonality"; I think it's
mostly oriented to monthly or quarterly data.
Maybe Ignacio Diaz-Emparanza, our resident expert on ARIMA models,
could comment?
