The resolution to my problem was specific to Mac OS X and had nothing to do
with the R module in particular. In case others have a similar problem, here
is my solution.
First, write18 must be enabled. As described by Aditya Mahajan, edit
/usr/local/teTeX/texmf.cnf so that shell_escape = t.
I can confirm that this works from the command line:
R CMD BATCH -q --save --restore rsample-r-1.tmp rsample-r-1.tmp.out
using the sample file from the r module. Running this command for each of the r
segments will produce the desired output. What I haven't determined is how to
modify the r
I think some quoting is required:
\def\runR
{\executesystemcommand{texmfstart
--ifchanged=\Rfile\space --direct R CMD BATCH
-q --save --restore \Rfile\space \Rfile.out}}
works here, but then I am on Linux. I think eventually Mac expertise
may be required.

I now discovered a side effect of using the R CMD BATCH invocation
instead of the piping. With the CMD R outputs the setting of options
in the first line and the result of proc.time at the end. Perhaps not
a problem, but it does require three more typed lines per R block.

I get no such output, either to stdout or in the log, in fact nothing
even similar. Does the ...disabled indicate that it is not run,
possibly because of something TeX/ConTeXt-related?

This means that write18 is disabled on your system, so tex cannot
execute any system commands. This is a security feature and most
intallation disable write18 by default. You need to edit your
texmf.cnf file to enable it. Search for texmf.cnf

or some such, I do not really understand the quoting. The invocation
should change, options should not and redirectors should go away.

R does support redirecting output to a file. Use

I spotted the announcement of the use of R in ConTeXt and was quite interested
in trying it out. However, so far I haven't been able to get it to work. It
appears that R is not being called by texexec and the .tmp.out are not being
found, despite the fact that they are being produced.
Are there
It appears R is not found. Is it on the path? Does it have the same
name on the Mac?
