free_port returning only one port...
dear Dan,
Yes, i just read the documentation...Previously i was using it with RSelenium package and never got to know that the argument random defaulted to FALSE. I was just using it blindly...only now I got to know that you must set random = TRUE to get different values across invocations...
Thanks anyways...
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely

I haven't used that function before, and I don't know what you previously experienced, but if you set the parameter random=TRUE you will get a different port on each invocation free_port(random=TRUE) Hope this is helpful, Dan -- Daniel Nordlund Port Townsend, WA USA -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com<http://www.avast.com>
