[R] eMail results out of R

[Stéphane Dray]

Here is a small function that I used on Debian. It requires exim4 :

send.mail<-function(addr='dray at biomserv.univ-lyon1.fr',subject='A 
message from R',
                    text=paste("I have finished to work 
",Sys.time(),coll="")){
    # send an email
    # it requires the reconfiguration of exim4
    # you have to connect as root and
    # then type dpkg-reconfigure exim4config
   
    mail.cmd<-paste("mail ",
                    "-s \"",subject,"\" ",
                    addr,
                    " << EOT &\n",
                    text,"\n",
                    "EOT",
                    sep="",collapse="")
     system(mail.cmd,intern=FALSE)
  }

Cheers,
