问题
I have a very basic question. I have built with R a script than can send me reports by email. I then used task scheduler to send those emails on specific times. But now I would like to automate more frequently these scripts (let's say every 2 hours) and to only receive an email when the alert I created in my script (a flag) is on, and this even when my pc is off. As task scheduler won't work, does that mean I need a server or something ? Does it have a cost ? I am complete newbie in that area. Thank you.

Unfortunately, you would need a separate server for when your computer is off. I might suggest the Free Tier services from Amazon Web Services.
