dear Dan, Yes, i just read the documentation...Previously i was using it with RSelenium package and never got to know that the argument random defaulted to FALSE. I was just using it blindly...only now I got to know that you must set random = TRUE to get different values across invocations... Thanks anyways...

I haven't used that function before, and I don't know what you previously experienced, but if you set the parameter random=TRUE you will get a different port on each invocation free_port(random=TRUE) Hope this is helpful, Dan -- Daniel Nordlund Port Townsend, WA USA -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com<http://www.avast.com> [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
