sys.exit(status = 0)

Arguments

status

Examples

## Not run: 
if (!file.exists("some.file")) {
  cat("Error: some.file does not exist.\n", file = stderr())
  sys.exit(1)
} else if (Sys.getenv("IMPORTANT_ENV") == "") {
  cat("Error: IMPORTANT_ENV not set.\n", file = stderr())
  sys.exit(2)
} else {
  cat("Everything good. Starting calculations...")
  # ...
  cat("Finished with success!")
  sys.exit(0)
}
