Creating an automatic scheduler to stream tweets at a certain time each day

Question

I'm relatively new to Java. I'm using Twitter4J to stream tweets live but only if I physically run it. How do I schedule to let it run at say, 12pm each day without physically running the program from my IDE?

Will appreciate if there are tutorials or so on this.

Which OS are you running in? If you're running on Linux you can schedule a cron job to invoke the program and send tweets on a regular schedule.

In that case you can use the 'Task Scheduler' under windows. – james_s_tayler Jan 04 '16 at 23:17
