R help - Jul 2006 - Determine file access modifiers at file creation

Hi,

is in R a command or option to a command which allows to set the file 
access modifiers for newly created files under Linux ? Currently a new 
file (e.g. with cat) is created with "rw-r--r--" and I would like to 
have "rw-rw-r". And I do not want to use umask.

Thanks in advance

Try using 'system':

system("chmod 664 filename")

Hi,

Can I determine the approximate size of a workspace on the harddisk 
before saving it via "sys.save.image(name)" ?

Thanks in advance
