If the last line of an R script does not have a trailing newline, a small errror is produced at the end of the script.
Small example. If file eg.r contains one line: getwd() and there is no newline after the closing paren $ R CMD BATCH eg.r produces an error: $ cat eg.r.Rout R : Copyright 2005, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Version 2.1.1 Patched (2005-09-01), ISBN 3-900051-07-0 ... > getwd()proc.time() Error: syntax error Execution halted $ Is it worth changing the BATCH script so that it adds a newline before adding the call to proc.time()?
