2. Batch file to run R script Any R script can be run. In my example, my R script outputs a.pdf with two barplots I wanted the.pdf to be updated daily without the user having to open R.

3. Skill relevance/usefulness Extremely useful for remotely accessed data Easiest way to quickly view updated data files

4. Application to data The data files are updated daily, but header information remains the same (important) Challenges: – Different operating systems!
