[R-SIG-Mac] R-SIG-Mac] Rscript on OSX

[Julin Maloof]

Apologies if this is too simplistic an answer for what you need to do, but you could remove the #! line and run using 

R CMD BATCH file.R

where file.R is your script file with the shebang line removed.

help("BATCH") in R will give the details
