When using Rscript -e <cmd>, (mistakenly) putting --args in front of -e causes an interactive R session to start that does not quit automatically and that does not display a prompt. For example,
{hb}: Rscript --vanilla -e "0" [1] 0 {hb}: Rscript --vanilla -e "0" --args [1] 0 {hb}: Rscript --vanilla --args -e "0" 1 [1] 1 2 [1] 2 quit("no") Further troubleshooting narrows this down to: {hb}: R --vanilla --slave --args -e 0 1 [1] 1 quit('no') having this problem. /Henrik ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
