Rserve: Server providing R functionality to applications via TCP/IP or local unix sockets

Description

Starts Rserve in daemon mode (unix only). Any additional parameters not related to Rserve will be passed straight to the underlying R. For configuration, usage and command line parameters please consult the online documentation at http://www.rforge.net/Rserve. Use R CMD Rserve --help for a brief help.

The Rserve function is provided for convenience only, it is recommended to start Rserve directly from the command line, not from R itself. Also note that the debug version of Rserve doesn't fork and thus will block until closed.

On Windows the Rserve() function sets up the PATH to include the current R.DLL so that Rserve can be run.

Usage

# R CMD Rserve []
Rserve(debug = FALSE, port = 6311, args = NULL, quote=(length(args) > 1), wait, ...)

Arguments

debug

determines whether regular Rserve or debug version of Rserve (Rserve.dbg) should be started.

port

port used by Rserve to listen for connections

args

further arguments passed to Rserve (as a string that will be passed to the system command - see quote below).

quote

logical, if TRUE then arguments are quoted, otherwise they are just joined with spaces

wait

wait argument for the system call. It defaults to FALSE on Windows and TRUE elsewhere.

...

other arguments to be passes to system.

synopsis

Rserve(debug = FALSE, port = 6311, args = NULL, quote=(length(args) > 1), wait, ...)
