[R] Ideas needed on automation of R

[Amund Tveit]

Rex,

Maybe RPy (Python interface to R) could be of help in automating R? Logging
is then made very flexible using Python.

- http://rpy.sourceforge.net/
- http://gestalt-system.sourceforge.net/rpy_demo.html

If you combine it with py2exe you could possibly create an
windows-executable file that controls R. Then you can also use Win2K's
(scheduled) service functionality for running the application. (This is
untried though, but assumed to work).

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Amund Tveit
