In Windows Vista, here is what I do: Create a .bat file that calls R to run the script. Then set the task scheduler to run the batch file. It's a round about way but it works for me.
# begin example of *.bat file contents cd C:\R\R-2.13.0\bin R CMD BATCH "C:\MyBats\MyBat.R" "C:\MyBats\MyOutput\MyBat.Rout" # end example HTH, Tracy -----Original Message----- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of daniel.e...@barclayswealth.com Sent: Friday, July 08, 2011 10:33 AM To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] Using Windows 7 Task Scheduler with R source scripts Hello all, I'm trying to get a specific source file to run at a certain time each day with WindowsScheduler http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/schedule-a-task I've tried a number of methods, none of which work: My best guess was: 1. Associate the script.R file with R in FileTypes. 2. Call the script.R file in the scheduler This definitely opens R, but the source file doesn't execute. Any ideas?
