I tried to use BATCH command to run an input file (a simple text file) which contained a few R commands.

I first saw the BATCH help page using
牋牋 > ?BATCH

The help page mentioned the Usage as:
Batch Execution of RR CMD BATCH [options] infile [outfile]

The Detailed section mentioned the following:

Use R CMD BATCH --help to be reminded of the usage.

My input file is called batchchk, which contains the following R commands:
ls()
ox <- read.table("rev_full_idle.out", header=TRUE)
ov <- ox$Times
length(ov)
summary(ov)

I loaded the utils library (probably it is loaded by default):
   > library(utils)

I ran the following commands and got the indicated errors:

   > BATCH batchchk
     Error: unexpected symbol in "BATCH batchchk"

   > R CMD BATCH batchchk
     Error: unexpected symbol in "R CMD"

   > R CMD BATCH --help
     Error: unexpected symbol in "R CMD"

   > BATCH --help
     Error: object 'BATCH' not found

Can somebody please point out where I am going wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Manuj
