R help - Nov 2007 - how to wait after plotting in BATCH mode?

when i plot with the following command on console:
$ R CMD BATCH cp_messung.R

in the R-script i wrote x11() in the beginning, so it draws a nice plot on
my screen.

But sadly it disappeares after a second or two. How can i make it to wait
until i press a key or something?

thank you.

Perhaps you can use the Sys.sleep function in the final of file:

plot(rnorm(100))
Sys.sleep(5)

Dear Jonas,

I don't understand why you want to do that. BATCH is supposed to be
for non-interactive, unnatended operation. If you want the plot to
remain there for any arbitrary time, why don't you open an R
interactive session and do:
source("cp_messung.R")

Otherwise, you'll have to think of ways of preventing the R BATCH
session from terminating immediately (e.g., via sleep, as suggested by
Henrique).

Best,

R.
