Hmmm -- not that I've tried it before, but here is a copy of a brief R session I just ran from the keyboard (lines 1-5 typed without the initial "$ " and "> " of course): $ R --no-save << EOT > x<-2*pi*(0.1*(0:10)) > print(cbind(x,sin(x))) > quit("no") > EOT R : Copyright 2003, The R Development Core Team Version 1.8.0 (2003-10-08) R is free software and comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

This also worked when I ran a file "Rbatch" containing #! /bin/bash /usr/bin/R --no-save << EOT x<-2*pi*(0.1*(0:10)) print(cbind(x,sin(x))) quit("no") EOT (don't forget to chmod 755 the Rbatch file!) For some reason, however, an alternative form of Rbatch: #!/usr/bin/R --no-save x<-2*pi*(0.1*(0:10)) print(cbind(x,sin(x))) quit("no") does not work: $ ./Rbatch ./Rbatch: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `(' ./Rbatch: line 2: `x<-2*pi*(0.1*(0:10))' indicating that 'bash' itself is trying to interpret the R commands, despite what is said in 'man bash': If the program is a file beginning with #!, the remainder of the firstline specifies an interpreter for the program.
