On Windows if you grab Rcmd.bat from http://batchfiles.googlecode.com and place it anywhere in your PATH then you can do the above like this: Rcmd BATCH myjob.R without having to set any paths. Rcmd.bat and all other batch files in that collection, are self contained so installation is just a matter of placing whichever you need anywhere on your path. Rcmd.bat finds R by looking into the registry and then runs it. ______________________________________________ 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.
