How to Stop proc.time being run when exiting R using quit()

Question

Hi All,

I am running a Batch file on Windows that runs an Rscript that creates two XML files. However at the end of the second XML file the following gets appended onto it:

> proc.time()

user  system elapsed 

4.97    0.62    7.78

Is there a way of stopping this from happening?

Regards,

Anthony.

Answer 1

Possibly -- if you remove the call to proc.time() in your script.

Edit: So so NOT use R CMD BATCH foo.R but rather Rscript foo.R.

Answer 2

Add q(runLast=FALSE) to your script, or use --no-timing
