Hi, anybody know any way to make a bash script to start Rcmdr directly widthout need to open R and execute library(Rcmdr)? I try to make this using R CMD BATCH somethink, but dont find the way.
For some reason, Rcmdr requires an interactive session: gannet% Rscript -e 'library(Rcmdr)' Loading required package: tcltk Loading Tcl/Tk interface ... done The Commander GUI is launched only in interactive sessions However, I was able to do gannet% cat foo #!/bin/sh R_DEFAULT_PACKAGES=Rcmdr R Probably you need R in interactive mode to respond to the Tcl/Tk callbacks (and not just terminate when no input is found).
