dear R wizards: is it possible to instruct R to save or no-save from inside R? or does this have to be given at invokation on the command-line? The same question applies to "--no-restore-data", although this presumably would have to be decided in a .First() function or something like it.
on a similar note, I would love a CMD BATCH invokation to output just one line to stderr at the end of its run which tells me whether the batch job ended prematurely because of an error. I know this can be undesirable if run in another program that refuses output (e.g., a web browser, where this can cause havoc if issued before the content-type:), so it would require that some switch like --silent would suppress this one line summary/error. This is not urgent---I can use the R return code to write a wrapper for this facility, but this might be nice default behavior. My guess is that most of us won't mind to see a flag in writing if something went badly wrong. sincerely, /iaw ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
