We have deployed shiny applications on shiny server pro. There are few reports where we need to track the time taken the load the data. For this, small piece of code is been written and deployed.
So we actually wanted shiny application to run automatically on a hourly basis. Is it possible?
I think Jmeter does this job right? I am not sure. Can anyone help me?
A shiny app is meant for "interactivity" between your code and a user so trying to run the app automatically would defeat its intended purpose. For that use case a more reasonable solution would be to schedule an Rscript to run the code you want.
Do you mean you want to open a session every hour? If so, to what end?, Or do you mean you want to automatically open the app and set some control values so you get some code executed? In which case I would insist on saying that, this is not the use case for a shiny app and you should isolate the required code in a script and schedule it using cron or any other scheduler.

Yes your right. May be until 2 - 3 mins
