R help - Aug 2009 - R CMD BATCH question under Ubuntu 9.04

Dear list,


I could not find a mailing list of R under ubuntu, so I give it a try here...any
direction/suggestion welcome


I run R 2.8.1 under Ubuntu 9.04
>From the terminal I am able to run a R CMD BATCH command when I am on my
home folder /home/user
jc@jc-laptop:~$ R CMD BATCH /var/www/test.R

The file "test.R" contains simply:
a <- 1
write.csv(a,"/var/www/test.csv")

BUT if I change the directory in the terminal, the same command "R CMD
BATCH /var/www/test.R" does not function & gives me the following
message:

e.g.:
jc@jc-laptop:~/var/www$ R CMD BATCH /var/www/test.R
bash: R CMD BATCH /var/www/test.R: No such file or directory

I am not sure how this possible...any idea? 

for the background, I try to run this command from php through exec
function...hence I start from the folder /var/www...


many thanks for any feedback you will want to give it.


Regards,
Julien

I am under the impression that the  Ubuntu's are Debian ports:

https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-debian

... and sorry,  I don't know the answer to the rest of you question.

Did you try just running 'R CMD BATCH test.R' from within the /var/www 
directory?

or if you're calling from a php script, perhaps something funky is going 
on with what it's interpreting as directories? I've seen some weird 
stuff happen where scripts will take web_home (/var/www) and do 
something like "/var/www/var/www/myfile".
