Examples
On LION-XEand LION-XL R is intended to be run non-interactively
using an input file containing the R commands to run. If R.in
was the input file and R.out was the file that the output should
go to, the following PBS script could be used:
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=1
#PBS -l walltime=2:00:00
#PBS -j oe
# change the current working directory to the directory where
# the input file R.in can be found
cd /home/foo/R
# run the R command reading from R.in and writing to R.out
R --no-restore --no-save < R.in > R.out

Further information on PBS scripts and submitting PBS jobs can be
found in the User Guides section of the HPC website for systems
using PBS.
