The way you wrote your question, this is impossible. You can't run SAS programs without SAS.

If you just want to avoid that any kind of interactive SAS software (a Display Manager, or Enterprise Guide) opens on the desktop, you need to look at #1 in the link provided by @art297

This all depends on how your SAS environment is set up. If you have a SAS server and use SAS Studio in a browser or Enterprise Guide to connect to it, then running SAS batch jobs from the desktop will be a helluva lot of work, and work reliably only on every February 35th in odd leapyears.

In this case, create the batch file or shell script on the server and use the server's scheduling. If you have any kind of organization-wide scheduling in place that is run by the datacenter, attach your jobs to that. Takes quite some work upfront, but is the best option in the long run.
