R help - Jun 2007 - R CMD BATCH command

The version of R on our unix system has been updated to version 2.5.0.
When I type the following command at the unix prompt:

'R CMD BATCH filename'

I receive the following error message:

Error in Sys.unsetenv("R_BATCH") : 'Sys.unsetenv' is not
available on
this system

Execution halted.

 

'R CMD BATCH filename' used to work with the prior version of R that I
had installed (version 2.2.0). Is there something that I need to modify
for it to work now?

Thanks,

Peter

A similar problem was found on an old version of Solaris and discussed 
on this very list on May 14 (use the list archive and look for the 
thread started by Simon Penel). This could be similar to your problem 
(but you omitted to tell us what system you were on).
