We know that R CMD BATCH infile outfile & On Linux or Mac will let you continue interactively from the command line.
This is a property of the command line shell being used, not of R CMD BATCH itself. One way to do the same on Windows would be to use the start command [*]: start "" R CMD BATCH infile outfile If a new window being created is a problem for you, try start "" /MIN or start "" /B, but I am not sure it would help. -- Best regards, Ivan [*] https://ss64.com/nt/start.html
