write my command in a file and run it in batch mode in the Rgui. but it
didnt work. I checked the doc. it said Rcmd BATCH inputfile. it didnt work
either.

1) It does work.

2) How did you do it?  You need to run:
        Rcmd BATCH source.R
    (where source.R is your input file) in DOS-prompt, or CygWin.  But you
must make sure the $R_HOME\bin directory is under your PATH.

3) When you say it didn't work, what are the error message

> also if you can shed some light on passing command line arguements (like
mybatchfile arg1 arg2), I would appreciate it!!

Not sure what you mean here.
