I'm looking for advice and suggestions on how I might be able to implement a routine when R exits. First, I'm running on Windows XP SP2 using R 2.7.1. I have a series of R programs that run numerous times a day. At the end of each program, I have a call that appends a line of text to another file -- called completed.txt. for example,
cat("File Completed - WPS2R1 \n",file = "D:\\WPSWork\\WPS Temporary Data\\_TD4216\\completed.txt ",append=TRUE) I place this at the very end of my programs and this works fine if the program doesn't terminate abnormally for some reason. What I would like to do is whenever R runs my jobs, I would like to have that line above execute whether the program runs to completion successfully or not. Basically, I want to have the ability to invoke some type of exit procedure that I can call to execute the above R statement. Honestly, I'm confused on how to implement such a thing and how onSessionExit() might work or if this is even the function I want to be calling. Any suggestions are welcome.
