I'm attempting to schedule an R script as mentioned in
the Scheduling R Script stackoverflow answer but I keep getting an error that says
ARGUMENT 'BATCH' \__ignored__
ARGUEMENT 'C:/Users/cburton/AutomaticJobPuller/jobsPuller.R' \__ignored__
and then it has the startup prompt for the R programming environment.
The contents in my batch file are
C:\Users\cburton\Documents\R\R-3.2.0\bin\R.exe BATCH C:\Users\cburton\AutomaticJobPuller\jobsPuller.R --vanilla
This is my first batch file, so I'm sure it's something simple, but I can't find the answer to this.

I am trying to share some R code with colleagues who don't know R. I have created a batch file so they can just double-click it and run the R script without even opening R. But it creates a .RData file.
My question is, can I prevent R from creating the .RData file?
I've read here Disable saving history that I could disable it through RStudio global options but my colleagues are installing just R and won't need to ever open it, so I am looking for some kind of solution of the likes of options(...) that I can just put in my Rscript, or maybe something that could be speficied in the batch file call.
For anyone curious, I figured it out thanks to #r2evans and this post: https://es.stackoverflow.com/questions/166211/evitar-que-r-cree-ficheros-r-data-y-r-history.
I just had to add --no-save to my batch call like this:
R CMD BATCH --no-save "%file%" NUL
where %file% is the Rscript path. The NUL part is so a .Rout file won't be created after running the batch file.
Also, doing
Rscript.exe "%file%"
runs the Rscript and doesn't produce .RData or .Rout files. The difference is that R messages get printed on the command window as they would in an interactive R session.
I'm having trouble running my R script from Excel VBA.
I wanted to create a Button in Excel with a macro that runs an R script but I've tried so many versions and none worked.
My path to R is "C:\Program Files\R\R-4.1.1\bin\Rscript.exe"
The path to my R Script is "\repo\xyz\18320\38293\one\redirected folder\Desktop\test_run\test\Code\sample.R"
How can I create a shell on VBA which actually executes the Script?
Can I maybe execute the script from the command line and then connect the excel macro to the command line? I didn´t manage to find a solution.
I want to execute a R script in R Studio using batch file. I know how to execute R script using batch file in R though. When I try to execute using the following:
"C:\Program Files\RStudio\bin\rstudio.exe" CMD BATCH --vanilla --slave "C:\Users\kpappala\Desktop\R schedule\task.R"
It just opens R studio but doesn't execute. Is there a way?
Thanks!
Rstudio is an IDE for R. It isn't R though. It doesn't really even make sense to run it in batch through rstudio.
If you're just saying you want to run a file from within Rstudio that's different and you can just source it or run it in batch via system using a call to R CMD BATCH.
This question was answered here:
batch execute R script.
In short and as Dason said, you Rstudio is just a shell, and doesn't actually run the code. For that use R. Try this instead:
PATH C:\Program Files\R\R-3.1.0\bin;%path%
Rscript "C:\Users\kpappala\Desktop\R schedule\task.R"
I have combed the internet looking for a tutorial on how to use R through the terminal and I can't find anything that exactly fits what I'm looking for. I have a group of R scripts. They need to be run in a specific order. Each produces a set of .csv files to be used as inputs for the next script that will be executed.
I have used R CMD BATCH filename.R and it makes an output file called filename.Rout
But then when I try to use cat filename.Rout, I get an error Fatal error: cannot open file 'filename.R': No such file or directory
Also I'm not sure where my output (.csv files) should be written to. In my R script, there are some write.csv lines pointing the new datasets to be written to a specific directory but when I run R CMD BATCH filename.R in the Terminal, I don't see the files where they should be. I see a filename.Rout in another directory but I can't open it.
Is there a way to fully log (stdin, stdout, stderror) a R session executed via Rscript in batch mode?
I know, that I can use R CMD BATCH to log the full session of a batch job. I also know how to write errors and output into a logfile using Rscript but since it is often said that R CMD BATCH is a relict from the old days and one should use Rscript, I was wondering if it can also log everything.
I suppose it is impossible but I am not sure - neither do I know why.
