Re: [Condor-users] Hello! Condor users.

An alternative for Windows and R is to transfer the R as a
zip and using a batch file unzip it on the execute machine and start
running it. If you have special libraries you then then use R to
install them before running your R program.

We do this because we have Condor on student lab machines and have
no shared drives. Works real well.

Hwanhee,
I do not have a lot of experience with Condor, but I think I can help you with this. There are multiple ways of doing this, and we decided to install R on a shared drive. This allows us to install new libraries without having to push it out to local machines. Whether R is installed on each local daemon or on a shared drive, you need to follow the syntax for running R applications via commandline. For Windows, the syntax in a .bat would look something like this: 

pushd <UNC Path>
"R.exe" --no-save -f  <UNC Path> \QRgrid.R --args %1
popd
pushd/popd adds the UNC path to memory and allows you to access shared drives on remote machines. net use is supposed to work, but we could not get this to work. Because you are transfering your applications, you will not require paths. 

Hopefully this will help.
Mike

    Hello! Condor...
I am a beginner of condor. I am trying to run R through condor. I got a problem. I need specific package of R. How can I install it through condor? Here is my submit file. universe = vanilla 
    requirements = OpSys == "WINNT60" && Arch == "INTEL" && HAS_R==TRUE
    && CCIT_LAB
    should_transfer_files = YES
    transfer_input_files = comBIC.R, caMassClass_1.6.zip, mvtnorm_0.9-7.zip
    when_to_transfer_output = ON_EXIT
    executable = batch.bat
    arguments = BATCH comBIC.R
    input = comBIC.R
    Output = combic/out$(Process).txt
    Log = combic/log$(Process).txt
    Error = combic/err$(Process).txt
    queue 2
    And my batch file.
set path=c:\PROGRA~2\R\R-2.8.0\bin;%path% 
    Rcmd %*
    Please help me.
