Run Jupyter notebook out of Jupyter environment

Question

I have a Jupyter notebook containing python and R scripts as well as magic commands. What I need is to schedule a task using Windows Task scheduler that somehow triggers run of this notebook. My scripts run at night and I prefer Jupyter to be closed. So I wonder if there is a way to do this? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

It is perfectly possible to do this

Create a bat file that you can reference in the windows task scheduler.

Code as follows:

cd C:\\path to your notebook jupyter nbconvert --to notebook --execute NOTEBOOKTOEXECUTE.ipynb

I needed to include the path, as the console would be run from the system path and thus unable to find the notebook.
