I think the best solution for this is to make your script executable by adding the appropriate shebang:

and then setup a cron job to run it at given intervals:

HTH,

I have tried adding the shebang with the following line at the beginning of my script:

#! D:\Octave-3.6.4\Octave3.6.4_gcc4.6.2\bin\octave.exe -qf

How do I then turn the script into an executable on Windows? All the examples I could find online seem to be related to Unix rather than Windows.

As far as scheduling is concerned, it looks like the best option in Windows is to use Scheduled Tasks:

but I need an executable before I get to that.

Thanks,
