Hi R people,
I have a Mac OSX server (it's basically a very fast desktop) running R that I'd
like to set to run automatically on system reboots. I tried using the system
startup items as I had with other applications, but for whatever reason R
wouldn't take. Interestingly, it sent the standard booting information
("Welcome to R",etc) to the system console, though by the time I could check
the process list it was never running.
Do any of you administrate R on OSX? I've heard some things about a new mac
startup interface called launchd - does this work for R? I know StartupItems
is deprecated but I figured I'd check if it was possible in launchd before
trying it. I've searched online for this information for a couple weeks but
couldn't find it (for some reason, googling the letter R and the word startup
or boot wasn't very fruitful), so I turn to you. If the answer to this
question is RTFM, I don't know where to access that information, so help pages
would definitely be appreciated too.
As a corollary to this, I should also be able to require and run Rserve from
the R startup files too, right?
Thanks for humoring my questions,
Brendan
