Subject: problem with .Last
Hi.
Having recently lost some data due to insufficient backing up (I know, I
know), I decided to put in some automatic backing up to compensate for my
laziness. I would like to use the .Last function to dump a copy of all
the objects in my directory into a text file on the disk. This may take a
little time, and take up some disk space, but that's OK.
.Last, however, appears not to actually be called when I quit. That is,
if I run my .Last function:
> .Last
.Last <- function(){
dump(ls(pos=1), "latest.dump")
}
> .Last()
I get the file out the way I want. If I quit, I get nothing. I've also
checked with a last function that just prints a string, with the same
results: the function works when called from the command line, but now
when I quit. The .First function, on the other hand, seems to work fine.
I'm running version 0.63.2 under Linux-PPC. Have I done something wrong,
or does .Last not work yet?
Thanks,
Matt
