Scheduling R Script

by

Actually under Windows you do not even have to create a batch file first to use the Scheduler.

  • Open the scheduler: START -> All Programs -> Accesories -> System Tools -> Scheduler
  • Create a new Task
  • under tab Action, create a new action
  • choose Start Program
  • browse to Rscript.exe which should be placed e.g. here:

    “C:\Program Files\R\R-3.0.2\bin\x64\Rscript.exe”
  • input the name of your file in the parameters field
  • input the path where the script is to be found in the Start in field
  • go to the Triggers tab
  • create new trigger
  • choose that task should be done each day, month, … repeated several times, or whatever you like
