Hi all,
I'm trying to learn R from an non-statistician's POV. I've got a statistician who uses R, but I'm the schmuck who has to integrate his R functions into an automated process.
Defining a POV (undefined, as is `schmuck') as `not something' is really non-communication. Please do read the R posting guide and its references, and try to formulate questions in standard (and polite) English. Also, check the correct list to use as described in that posting guide -- R-help is not intended for questions involving programming concepts (like `syslog', which needs explanation even there).
One of the things I would really like is the ability to log messages to file, specifically using syslog on a Linux box. (I also want to write messages to STDOUT based on a command-line flag, but I figure that can't be too hard to figure out. If it is too hard to figure out, you'll be seeing another message from me shortly. :-)
It's not clear what you mean by this. If you mean send warnings and messages to stdout (what is `STDOUT'?) then `why?' You deal with this the same way as any other Linux application that uses stderr for warning/error messages.
To `tee' output, see ?sink, or indeed `man tee'.
R is principally an interactive program used for exploration. You haven't told us what you are trying to do, and you may be better off embedding R in some other front end to give you more control.
