Remove or change a scheduled task

If you are here, this is because you want to remove or modify a reference retrieval task that you set up earlier. Otherwise, check the article LitFetchR (Tutorial) to learn how to set up a task.

Setup

From your individual review R directory, load LitFetchR:

#Load LitFetchR
library(LitFetchR)

Remove a scheduled task

Just use the following function with the name of the scheduled task:

#Load LitFetchR
library(LitFetchR)

#remove a scheduled task using its name/identification

#Example of what you should see:
# > remove_scheduled_task("fish_vibrio")
# SUCCESS: The scheduled task "fish_vibrio" was successfully deleted.
# Windows task 'fish_vibrio' removed (or did not exist).

Modify a scheduled task

There is no function to directly modify a scheduled task at the moment. You can simply:

  1. Remove the scheduled task (see above)
  2. Setup a new task → see LitFetchR (Tutorial)
