You probably want R CMD BATCH from a command-line. For example, if myjob.R is: x=runif(100) y=runif(100) m=lm(y~x) summary(m) and I do: R CMD BATCH myjob.R from a command prompt then when it finishes I get a file "myjob.Rout" which is a transcript file just like you'd see if you did things interactively. Normally on a Unix box 'R' will be in your path so you can type it just like that from a terminal window. From Windows, I'm not so sure, so you may have to type the full path, like: C:\Program Files\R-2.8.0\bin\R.exe CMD BATCH myjob.R Barry ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list 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.
