I believe that shell() was superceded by system(), quite a long time ago.
Not really, under Windows, shell() will start a shell while system() won't. Uwe Ligges
However, I get this:foo<- system('printenv',intern=TRUE) ; foo[grepl('SHELL',foo)][1] "SHELL=/bin/tcsh" "XTERM_SHELL=/bin/tcsh" And tcsh is my login shell, i.e., as specified for my account at the OS level. To me, this implies that you should get bash by default if your account is configured for bash, but I can't know for certain. -Don
