Problem in using BATCH command

Hi Every one,

I have been struggling with a problem and need your help. I would like to
automate execution of a .R file. Therefore i thought of creating a batch
file. It reads 

@echo off
start /d "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.13.1\bin\x64" R BATCH Model.R

No success with running it. The command prompt flashes in and out. But I do
not see results. (there is a plot command which is for testing the
execution).

Anyone is able to give me some advice on this.

Worse than that I am not even able to get the command R BATCH Model.R to
work in command prompt.  I get the error "unable to open output file".

Thanks 

Hami

Hi Hami

This is what I use when I have run a file using the BATCH command for 
windows XP

D:\rw\bin\R CMD BATCH --no-restore --no-save Rfile.R Rfile_log.txt

where
D:\rw\bin\R is your R exe file name and path
Rfile.R is the R file your are "sourcing"
Rfile_log.txt is the log file - handy if things go wrong.

See one of the manuals I cannot remember which one - it is too late 
for me to remember or look it up

HTH

Regards

Duncan
