Dear all, I am trying to run a simple R script in batch mode on a cluster. Running a simple test script with "R CMD BATCH test.R test.Rout" works fine, but as soon as I submit the very same command to the queue and the job gets sent to a node, the following error is written to test.Rout: Fatal error: cannot mkdir R_TempDir I set the environment variables TEMP, TMP and TMPDIR to /tmp/ and I also make sure that all environment variables are set on the nodes. Running the R command "tempdir()" on a node returns something like "/tmp/RtmpadvdoQ". I also made sure that the /tmp/ directory is readable and writable on all nodes. I know that this question might be more cluster-specific (I'm running scientific linux) than R specific and my example is hard to reproduce. However, maybe someone encountered similar problems. Is it maybe possible to specify the tempdir in an argument to R CMD BATCH?
