Re: [R] system() command in R
Thank you all for the suggestions. I've been trying different things to make this work. Mike I did try what you suggested . It would work normally But i guess here the problem is my local server itself. It by default takes time to start and nothing I do is helping . So I came up with the idea to communicate with the server through R-java connection. I am halfway through that , I hope it works:) Thank you all for the response.

Re: [R] system() command in R
Hi, The further steps do not get executed because the server keeps waiting. and they are in the same function as the start server. if server started manually then they run normally from the R environment. Is that what you wanted to know? I hope I answered it .

[R] system() command in R
Hi all, I have a local server insalled on my system and have to start that from within my R function. here is how I start it: cmd-sh start-server.sh system(cmd, wait=FALSE) My function has to start the server and proceed with further steps. The server starts but the further steps of the program are not executed.The cursor keeps waiting after the server is started. i tried removing the wait=FALSE, but it still keeps waiting. I also tried putting the start-server in a separate function and my further script in a separate function and then run them together, but it still waits. The transition from the start of server to next step is not happening. Please help.
