[R] Run R script automatically each morning and email results?
Greetings to all -- I am hoping that someone can offer some insight into an area where I have very little experience. I have written some R code that generates a 90-day plot of temperature vs. mortality. On whatever day the code is run it will grab up-to-date vital statistics data from our server and combine it with up-to-date temperature data from the web. This is a baby step in automated surveillance of the relationship between temperature and mortality in our area. The next step is to have this code run automatically every morning at 8:00am, and to email the resulting plot to a few key stakeholders. Can anyone recommend how I might accomplish this? Either in R, or some other user-friendlish solution? Many thanks, Sarah [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Use cron job scheduler to start r session on your script.
