Yes I'm using R 3.4.4 on Ubuntu 18.04. I doubt the Windows version would
make use of a bash script.
I'm all for a more consistent interface. It puzzles me that a shell script
is used at all since that does not seem portable, especially for Windows
users.
To my surprise I discovered the R that's ca
In my humble personal opinion, I try to avoid bash scripts longer than a
couple lines because I find the syntax so obtuse and unintuitive it's
difficult to maintain and write less buggy code. But that is mostly a
reflection of my personal inexperience.
I think the only time a bash script is really
