[Biodevelopers] Running R from Unix Command Line

[Paulo Nuin]

Hi Shalini

 

Your best bet is to use R –vanilla in the command line and a script with the
commands you need that will be read by R and executed. I believe that there
might be other ways but this is fairly simple to develop.

 

Take a look on the link below regarding a discussion of similar features on
the R list.

Subject: [Biodevelopers] Running R from Unix Command Line

 

Hello all,

If someone can please throw a light on this I would be eternally greatful :

I have a CGI PERL Script that needs to invoke the R program on the command
line of UNIX and send commands to it.

Can I do this using the normal system command? Would this work? If so, how
can I specify the commands without clashing with the double quotes of perl
and that of R?

If not, could someone please suggest an alternative to this ?

Thanks

Shalini
