Deploying Matlab app to run 24/7

Hi All,

I'd like to use Matlab for an application I need to develop but I'm not sure what the best way about it is.

The application needs to make a call out to an API once a day at the same time, do some stuff with the data, and then wait to repeat the process at the same time the next day. It will have to do this indefinitely.

I could compile the code in an .exe and just leave it running 24/7 but I don't think this would be the best option?

Should I have some scheduler launch the .exe at the required time then the Matlab app kill it self when its done and let the scheduler call it again the following day?

Using the MS Windows task scheduler would be more robust in the face of power failures and reboots.
