Automatic execution of a do-file

[Paul Shlapa]

Dear STATA Experts,

I there a way to execute STATA do-file automatically, let's say every day at 8:00, without even opening STATA or having STATA opened, but without physical execution of the do-file itself?

Sincerely,

Pavlo

Take a look at this FAQ. There are similar FAQs for OS other than Windows.

You can execute Stata from the Terminal / shell etc. The instructions differ depending on your operating system:

• MacOS
• Windows
• Unix

You can then set up a cron job (Task Scheduler on Windows) to run this at a pre-determined time.
