Can I schedule an R program to run on a daily basis

+1 vote
I have created a R program to collect and update information from a local and online source, which are updated frequently.These sources are fixed, and so there is no argument to pass to the program. I'm now trying to set this as a scheduled daily task. I assume that it is not possible for .r file.
Is there any way to compile the r file to executable file? such as .exe, I don't need the executable file to be standalone, I can keep R in my computer.

Make use of the standard operating system facilities to execute R with an appropriate argument. 

Example: if you add the functions you need to .Rprofile, you can do

R --no-save --no-restore -q -e 'MyFunc(my,args)'

Hope this helped
