Hi,
I'd like to spawn of a new R process from within R using system(),
e.g. system("R -f myScript.R"). However, just specifying "R" as in
that example is not guaranteed to work, because "R" may not be on the
OS's search path.
What is the best way, from within a running R, to infer the command
(basename or full path) for launching R in way that it works on any
OS? I came up with the following alternatives, but I'm not sure if
they'll work everywhere or not:
1. Rbin <- commandArgs()[1];
2. Rbin <- file.path(R.home(), "bin", "R");
Other suggestions that are better?
/Henrik
