I am trying to understand the difference between the Rserve arguments --save, --no-save, and --vanilla. I don't see anything describing the effects of these in the documentation or any forums. Does anyone know exactly what these do?
In OSX, I need to specify one of these to run Rserve.
Those are R arguments and documented in the R documentation as well as in --help:
$ R --help
[...]
--save Do save workspace at the end of the session
--no-save Don't save it
--no-environ Don't read the site and user environment files
--no-site-file Don't read the site-wide Rprofile
--no-init-file Don't read the user R profile
--restore Do restore previously saved objects at startup
--no-restore-data Don't restore previously saved objects
--no-restore-history Don't restore the R history file
--no-restore Don't restore anything
--vanilla Combine --no-save, --no-restore, --no-site-file,
--no-init-file and --no-environ
