[R] external R scripts

2010-11-10 Thread Maas James Dr (MED)
Is it possible to send data from an executing R script, to external R script 
files, on linux in this case, get that external R script to execute, and pass 
results back to the central script?  If so what commands should I be looking 
at?  I've googled for R and external, stuff like that but no luck.

The reason for the question is that I need to generate simulation data, then 
perform several different analyses on the same data set, then collate the 
results.  All individual analyses can be done sequentially, or perhaps more 
quickly by doing the individual analyses simultaneously if I pass them to 
external functions.

Thanks

It would be possible to call other R scripts using calls to ?system or 
?system2 and ?Rscript, provided you formatted what you passed as [args] 
and how your scripts handled [args].
