Run R Script As Job

Starts an R script as a background job.

jobRunScript(
  path,
  name = NULL,
  encoding = "unknown",
  workingDir = NULL,
  importEnv = FALSE,
  exportEnv = ""
)

`path`	The path to the R script to be run.
`name`	A name for the background job. When `NULL` (the default), the filename of the script is used as the job name.
`encoding`	The text encoding of the script, if known.
`workingDir`	The working directory in which to run the job. When `NULL` (the default), the parent directory of the R script is used.
`importEnv`	Whether to import the global environment into the job.
`exportEnv`	The name of the environment in which to export the R objects created by the job. Use `""` (the default) to skip export, `"R_GlobalEnv"`' to export to the global environment, or the name of an environment object to create an object with that name.
