Does R have a function to obtain a name of the machine that it is running on? I'm going to be writing results to a database from several different machines, and I'd like to be able to identify where they came from. Duncan Murdoch
Not an R function, per se, but> system("uname -n", intern = TRUE)returns my computer's network node hostname on both Windows and Linux. You can use 'uname -a' for more information. -----Original Message----- From: Duncan Murdoch [mailto:murdoch at stats.uwo.ca] Sent: Friday, December 09, 2005 9:31 AM To: R-devel Subject: [Rd] ID for machine?

maybe
Sys.info()["nodename"]
could be helpfull in Windows.
