Greetings - I run a multi-pro server box (GNU/Linux), on which I've installed winBUGS under wine. Works fine, and plays nice with r2WinBUGS, provided everything is done through a graphical front-end (either by working from console, or using a virtual desktop via VNC or equivalent).
However, I'm wondering if there is a way to use R2winBUGS and winBUGS such that winBUGS does not spawn any windows - in other words, have R and R2winBUGS access the winBUGS 'engine', dump everything to coda files, but not generate any windows? I ask because a number of my more 'remote' users have trouble running a graphical interface to the machine. Rather, they'd like to ssh into a shell, run a R script calling R2WinBUGS, then sign off. At present, this doesn't work 'cleanly' because winBUGS keeps trying to open up a window or two. Which, needless to say, doesn't work if you're running things in an ASCII shell from the command line. We've looked at the R2winBUGS docs, and found nothing there (or on various drills through what we could find on the web) for how to do this - if it is at all possible. Possible? If so, we'd be delighted to be enlightened on how! ;-) Thanks very much in advance... ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
