...er minded publishing it because it looked so obvious. However, a search in the archives revealed there is no recent easy-to-use method proposed. The latest reference I found is from 2006 (http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/81124.html) and even a c wrapper has been proposed (http://kavaro.fi/mediawiki/index.php/Using_R_from_the_shell). So, here it goes an exceedingly simple example of my simple solution that works pretty well: #!/usr/local/bin/Rscript --vanilla update.packages(ask=F, repos="http://cran.spsconsultoria.com") # no need for calls to quit() Now just chmod t...

Hi, is possible to make a R script to run under a console without open the R environment? Something like this example.R #!/usr/bin/R function(name="Put here your name") { print(name) } In a console I make ./example.R name="Ronaldo Reis J?nior" then program print my name. It is possible?
