I am trying to set up my home, office, and a server to auto update my R
packages once a week. I have a cron job on the server and a scheduled
task on the other two pc's that are scripts. The batch script is
rem #!/bin/bash
rem cron job for updating R weekly
rem #options(echo = FALSE)
set Rloc="\Program Files\R\bin\"
set script=\Libraries\R\
%Rloc%R CMD BATCH %script%updatepackages.R
I also have a similar bash shell script for the server.
These scripts call the R script updatepackages.R which is
options(echo = FALSE)
update.packages(ask=FALSE,repos="http://cran.r-project.org")
My question is there a way to pipe the two R commands in the shell
scripts so I do not have to have a seperate R script on my pc's or my
server?
If anyone has a better idea, I would appreciate their comments and
suggestions.
Thank you
Joe W. Byers
