Running R Scripts with Plots

Viewed 21952

I have a small shell script (bash) which runs a R script which produces a plot as output. Everything works fine but immedietly after the plot is rendered R quits. Is there a way to keep the R session alive until the plot window is closed.

The shell script.

#!/bin/bash
R --slave --vanilla < myscript.r

And the R script.

daq = read.table(file('mydata.dat'))
X11()
pairs(daq)
//R Completes this and then exits immediately.

Thanks in advance for any help!
