No, you don't need to access the registry: just execute the EXE file you will find in your project/release/bin folder when you build the Release version of your application.

Scheduling is a OS function: for Windows you would use the Task Scheduler (Windows)[^] and set it to run the app at a specific time each day.

I think Batch server is Linux it seems. In my Application they created .bat and .vbs files. in .Vbs they are reading registry of computer name. Even i need to do the same. or other approach also i can do?

If task scheduler runs in Linux also?

Yes, it's called cron, see, for instance:
