[ESS] Execute (ess-eval-buffer) when running emacs -batch

[Bernd Weiss]

Dear all,

Given the following R file:

---- test.R ------------
pdf("testplot.pdf")
hist(rnorm(100))
dev.off()
---- test.R ------------

I now want to call emacs + ESS from command line like this (I know that
this does not make any sense at all, see "Background" below for more
information):

emacs -batch -l e:/config/.emacs --visit test.R --eval="(progn (require
'ess) (R) (ess-eval-buffer))"


When I execute this command, it stops with

Type C-h m for help on ESS version 12.04
---- cl output ----------


Background:

The real problem is related to running org-mode files via emacs' batch
scripts, i.e. when I execute (org-export-as-pdf) it stops with "Type C-h
m for help on ESS version 12.04". My original orgmode-related question
can be found here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/54549

Thanks,

Bernd
