Actually I want to stop the Rserve or restart it I have read this How to close Rserve from the command line but I think if I kill it, it will shut it down and I cannot start it again.
I only want to refresh it so that it will recognize the packages I installed or upgrade. When i try to run it as follows:
R CMD Rserve

##> SOCK_ERROR: bind error #98(address already in use)
I get this error, anyone knows what I should do?
note that on the ubuntu this command line does not function
R CMD something
Thanks
"address already in use" means that you have Rserve already running on the same port. The easiest way to shutdown Rserve is via
killall -INT Rserve
Once it's down, you can start it again using R CMD Rserve.
