Thank you, this sheds more light on what's going on.
Not being a real unix/bash guru the way I understand this is that cled
(command line editor?), called from the script Splus, exits silently if
called with BATCH in out.
Without the code of cled, I can't be sure but I believe so.
Makes me wonder if that could and should not be filtered out by the Splus
script.
Actually I wonder why anyone would not want the command retrieval
functionality for the command line and why one needs the "-e" option.
See my comment about it not working on 2.6.x kernels. You do not want a
non-functional basic option. Also, you do not want it in non-interactive
use. (R has been taught to distinguish such uses, but does have a
command-line flag to turn the command-line editing off in case it gets
it wrong.)

Subject: Re: [S] Aliasing Splus and using BATCH or SBATCH
Category:
I cannot run Splus -e for 6.2 any more (it does not work with a 2.6.x
kernel). With 7.0 I get an empty test.log. This is not surprising as if
you run
Splus -e BATCH test.ssc test.log
you get the same. If you read the script file you will see if it
encounters -e it uses
S_FRONT_END="$CLED $CLEDJCTL --"
in
exec $S_FRONT_END "$c" ${1+"$@"}
do it runs cled and not the batch script.

S-Plus 6.2.1 for Linux using Red Hat and bash.
I have aliased Splus to Splus -e and want to run Splus in batch mode.
This seems to prevent Splus from running BATCH properly.
Details:
From the Unix (bash) command line, enter
# set the alias
alias Splus="Splus -e"
# generate a command file
cat > test.ssc
print(1:11)
<Ctrl-D>
# run it
Splus BATCH test.ssc test.log
No visible effect of anything being done, no file test.log created.
However,
Splus SBATCH -input test.ssc
works as I expect it, creating files test.slg and test.txt.
It seems that the problem is in the script execution, <Splus
directory>/cmd/BATCH but if I add a line
echo $1 in the beginning, I get the name of the script file (so things
seem to be fine).
Any idea what's going on and how I can still alias Splus as above?
Btw, without the alias set all works fine.
Thanks in advance!
Andreas
