Thanks for the suggestion Rolf. Unfortunately, this uses the BATCH profile when I use for example R CMD INSTALL. I would like the BATCH profile to be used only when R CMD BATCH is used. Sorry, about the vagueness of my question.
I have found a way that approximates what I want to do. If I create a new script file R2, with the only change from the regular R script file being that I set and export the R_PROFILE variable, I can use this new script file when I want to run BATCH jobs. R2 --save --file=jobfile Mark Lyman -----Original Message----- From: Rolf Turner [mailto:r.tur...@auckland.ac.nz] Sent: Thursday, March 19, 2009 1:01 PM To: Lyman, Mark Cc: r-help@r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] How to set R_PROFILE conditional on batch or interactive mode On 20/03/2009, at 5:46 AM, Lyman, Mark wrote: > I am running R 2.8.1 on SUSE Linux.

In your .Rprofile have code like unto: if(interactive()) { # Do the non-batch thing } else { # Do the batch thing. } Haven't tested this, but. cheers, Rolf Turner ###################################################################### Attention: This e-mail message is privileged and confidential.
