Example of usage

To run R in a batch queue:

Create a script (called runR.sh in this example) with the following lines:

Script filename (runR.sh):

#!/bin/csh
cd working_directory
time R CMD BATCH R_program_name

Submit this script runR.sh to a serial queue (e.g., using up to 24h of wallclock time):

pcluster> ugsub T1-i1-t1-24h runR.sh
