Hi, I have a number of configurations in my .Rprofile that are run when I start R.app. I typically start R.app from a Terminal...
$ open -a R ... which nicely reads my .Rprofile as R.app starts. On occasion I wish to enter R in the '--vanilla' state. Right now I do that by starting a command line version ... $ R --vanilla ... which starts a command line instance of R. That is fine except that I regret the loss of the nice R.app interface while I stumble around on the command line. So, I wonder if there is a way to start R.app in a similar way - that is start R.app without reading any of the user configurations. I have tried tricks like the following without success. $ open -a R --args '--vanilla' I don't see any hints about in the R-SIG-Mac help archives nor it here... http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html#R_002eapp Thanks!
