Incorporating Gergely Daróczi's last suggestion (köszönöm!) I get # the package for which to check that has the most dependencies APEX_PKG='M3' # substitute yours for RSERVER in 'foo' 'bar' 'baz' ; do echo -e "${RSERVER} has:" ssh ${RSERVER} "R --version | head -n 1" ssh ${RSERVER} "echo -e ${RSERVER} has ${APEX_PKG}:" ssh ${RSERVER} "R --slave -e 'as.logical(suppressWarnings(suppressPackageStartupMessages(require(${APEX_PKG}))))'" echo # newline done which works. I'd still like to know: > 2 What should my admin have done to install both Rscript and R? > (Alternatively, what should I tell my admin to do in order to make > both Rscript and R available?) > 3 Is there any reason to install R without Rscript? (Alternatively, > when I ask my admin to install Rscript, is there any objection > I should anticipate?) your assistance is appreciated, Tom Roche <tom_ro...@pobox.com> ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
