gaggleInit {gaggle}R Documentation

Initialize the R Goose, registering with the Gaggle

Description

Call this function to register the R Goose with an already-running Gaggle Boss; this makes all subsequent communication possible. This function call will fail if a boss is not running. By default, this function looks for, and registers with, a boss on your current computer ('localhost'). Alternatively, you may supply the name of another computer where a boss is running.(See warning, below, about avoiding fully-qualified names.) This is useful if you wish to run R on a remote compute server (perhaps with extra memory and speed), and connect it to a gaggle running on your desktop.

Usage

gaggleInit (bossHost = 'localhost')

Arguments

bossHost the computer ('host') on which your GaggleBoss is running. For some mysterious reason, in my testing I have found that the hostname must NOT be fully qualified. Simple, single names like 'trickster'and 'hazel' work reliably, but their fully-qualified counterparts – 'trickster.systemsbiology.org' and 'hazel.systemsbiology.net' – do not.

Value

Returns NULL.
