# Wrapper to easily run an R script at the command line, with arguments,
# like you're used to with Python/Perl/Ruby/Bash/anything else remotely sane.
#
# Usage:
#   runR <script.R> [argument list]

# you can also optionally route output to /dev/null, depending on your desires
R --vanilla "--args ${@:2}" < $1 #>/dev/null
