Hi,
I just downloaded and installed last nights version of R-patched
and decided that I'd set R_BATCHSAVE=--no-save in config.site,
which I haven't done before.
Since the comment above R_BATCHSAVE in config.site says:
## The default behavior of R if it encounters EOF in batch mode.
## Set this to one of '--save' or '--no-save' depending whether you
## want automatic saving of '.RData' or not.
so I assumed it should only affect BATCH mode. However, I'm finding
the opposite, it only affects interactive mode, and *not* BATCH mode.
I configured and made R two different ways, one with R_BATCHSAVE set
to --no-save and one with it left unset (defaulting to --save).
I compared the resulting scripts to one another. I found that
there was no difference in the ${R_HOME}/bin/BATCH scripts but there was
a difference in the ${R_HOME}/bin/R scripts. When I set R_BATCHSAVE
to --no-save I got:
exec "${R_binary}" --no-save ${args}
rather instead of:
exec "${R_binary}" ${args}
one line 175 of /bin/R.
Am I missing something (certainly not an uncommon occurrance) or
is this a mistake?
