Schedule R Script Every 15 min (cronR)

I need to schedule/run an R script every 15 min. Running on an AWS RStudio instance.

I have played a bit with 'cronR', including loading the add-in. I can figure out how to get it to run "minutely", "hourly", etc...but not every 15-min.

What's the best way to get this done...either in RStudio via cronR or alternative, or via some other method?

So I followed @r2evans advice and opened an issue on git. It was addressed almost immediately with a fix to the code and an update to the readme. Figured I would answer this for completeness in case someone else ever finds their way here...

You can now schedule a job every 15 min with 'cronR' either in the RStudio add-in, or with the following code:

cron_add(script, frequency = '*/15 * * * *', id = 'Job ID', description = 'Every 15 min')

One note is that you might need to reinstall the package using devtools to push through the most recent changes:

devtools::install_github("bnosac/cronR")
