[R] Cant schedule R job using taskscheduleR

[Christofer Bogaso]

Hi,

I am trying to schedule an R job using taskscheduler_create() function
available in package taskscheduleR.

Below is my code:

> library(taskscheduleR)
Warning message:
package ‘taskscheduleR’ was built under R version 3.5.1
> taskscheduler_create(taskname = "ABC", rscript = paste("C:\\ABC.R"),
startdate = format(Sys.Date() + 1, "%d/%m/%Y"), schedule = "WEEKLY",
starttime = "16:30", days = c("MON", "TUE", "WED", "THU", "FRI")[1])
[1] "ERROR: Incorrect Start Date."
attr(,"status")
[1] 16389
Warning message:
In system(cmd, intern = TRUE) :
  running command 'schtasks /Create /TN "ABC" /TR "cmd /c
C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-35~1.0/bin/Rscript.exe \"C:\ABC.R\"  >> \"C:\ABC.log\"
2>&1" /SC WEEKLY /ST 16:30 /SD "25/08/2018" /D MON ' had status 16389


However it fails with stating Incorrect Start Date.

Any help to understand what went wrong?
