[R] appending to a file with R CMD batch and chron

[stephen sefick]

I am sure that there is a much easier way of doing this, but this is
what I have figured out so far.  I would like to run a script that
downloads USGS data and parses it, and run this with as a cron process
every night at x o'clock and append the output to a file.

Can I run it like the following:

1 24 * * * R CMD batch foo.r >> foo.txt

or is there a better way?
