I am having problems with trying to run R from a crontab job. I have a
c-shell file that calls the R script. I get an error concerning the X11
display (see below). I have included the c-shell file and the output from
the crontab job. It appears that my DISPLAY environmental variable is not
set. Is that necessary, even when the output of the plot command is to a png
file? Can someone tell me how to fix this?
Thanks, Don
