How to run an R script in crontab

Question

Using crontab -e I\'ve tried:

* * * * *  Rscript /home/.../file.r
* * * * * /usr/lib/R/bin/Rscript /home/.../file.r
* * * * * /usr/bin/Rscript /home/.../file         


        

Answer 1

You'll need to have the full path in your foo.sh:

sudo R CMD BATCH /home/.../file.r

I should also add that the first version worked for me, although I set it to a specific time rather than * * * * *
