Hey buddy,

The scheduling part is not a Katalon feature per se. You have do that with the scheduler function in whatever Operative system you are using.

You have to first create your Katalon batch file using this guide:

> **[Console Mode Execution](https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/docs/console-mode-execution.html#execute-katalon-in-cmd)**
>
> Only Chrome, Firefox and Remote options are supported for console mode execution using Linux version. You can execute automation test without launching Katalon Studio by using command line mode execution. ...

\*The batch file is basically the set of Katalon instructions you would want to run in console mode.

Then schedule to run that batch file using Task Scheduler. This is the guide for Windows assuming you’re using that. Just google how to use that function in Linux or Mac if this guide doesn’t work for you:
