| BATCH {utils} | R Documentation |
Run R non-interactively with input from infile and
send output (stdout/stderr) to another file.
R CMD BATCH [options] infile [outfile]
infile |
the name of a file with R code to be executed. |
options |
a list of R command line options, e.g., for setting the
amount of memory available and controlling the load/save process.
If |
outfile |
the name of a file to which to write output. If not
given, the name used is that of |
Use R CMD BATCH --help to be reminded of the usage.
By default, the input commands are printed along with the output. To
suppress this behavior, add options(echo = FALSE) at the
beginning of infile, or use option --slave.
Files with an incomplete last line (no end of line mark) are accepted.
A final expression proc.time() will be executed after the input
script unless the latter calls q(runLast=FALSE) or is aborted.
This can be suppressed by the option --no-timing.
Additional options can be set by the environment variable R_BATCH_OPTIONS: these come after --restore --save and before any options given on the command line.
