[R] How to schedule R to run automatically

I don't know if this code match what you want. You should use tcltk library. code: library(tcltk) z - function () { cat(Hello you!\n); .id - tcl(after, 1000, z)} z() If you want to cancel you can use: .id - tcl(after, 1000, z) tcl(after, info, .id) # To get info about this scheduled task
