R.exe, Rcmd.exe, Rscript.exe and Rterm.exe: what's the difference?
I'm struggling with the different R executables. What exactly is the difference between R.exe (with or without CMD BATCH option), Rcmd.exe, Rscript.exe and Rterm.exe when running command line in a batch file? And what is the difference between: R.exe --no-environ --no-save < "c:\temp\R\test.R" > "c:\temp\R\out.txt" 2>&1 and R.exe CMD BATCH --no-environ --no-save "c:\temp\R\test.R" "c:\temp\R\out.txt" No difference in the output. I cannot find anything about Rcmd.exe and Rscript.exe in the 3079 pages R reference manual. By the way: I am using Windows. Dirk Eddelbuettel Caveat: I work much more
