Rserv.RdStarts Rserve in daemon mode (unix only). Any additional parameters
not related to Rserve will be passed straight to the underlying R. For
configuration, usage and command line parameters please consult the
online documentation at http://www.rforge.net/Rserve.
Use R CMD Rserve --help for a brief help.
The Rserve function is provided for convenience only.
On Windows the Rserve() function sets up the PATH to
include the current R.DLL so that Rserve can be run.
# R CMD Rserve [<parameters>]

Rserve is not just a package, but an application. It is provided as a R package for convenience only. For details see http://www.rforge.net/Rserve
R CMD Rserve will only work on unix when installed from
sources and with sufficient permissions to have write-rights in
$R_HOME/bin. Binary installations have no way to write in
$R_HOME/bin and thus Rserve() function described above
is the only reliable way to start Rserve in that case.
Java developers may want to see the StartRserve class in
java/Rserve/test examples for easy way to start Rserve
from Java.
Rserve can be compiled with TLS/SSL support based on OpenSSL.
