Restart R within Rstudio

I'm trying to call a simple python script from within R using system2(). I've read some information I found vague that said if 'too much' memory is used, it won't work. If I load a large dataset and use some information in it to use as arguments to pass into system2(), it will only work if I manually click "Restart R" in call Rstudio. What I want: ``` df <- read.csv('some_large_file.csv') ###extracting some info called 'args_vec' for(arg in args_vec){ system2('python', args) } ``` This won't work as is. The for loop is simply passed over. What I need: ``` df <- read.csv('some_large_file.csv') ###extracting some info called 'args_vec' ###something that 'restarts' R for(arg in args_vec){ system2('python', args) } ``` This answer doesn't quite get what I want. Namely, it doesn't work for me within Rstudio and it calls "system" (which presents the same problem as "system2" in this case). In fact, when I put the answer referenced above in my Rprofile.site file, it just immediately closed rstudio: I tried the suggestion as a normal function (rather than using "makeActiveBinding", and it didn't quite work. ``` ##restart R in r session -- doesn't work makeActiveBinding("refresh", function() { system("R --save"); q("no") }, .GlobalEnv) ##nor did this: refresh <- function() { system("R --save"); q("no") } ``` I tried a number of variations of these two options above, but this is getting long for what feels like a simple question. There's a lot I don't yet understand about the startup process and "makeActiveBinding" is a bit mysterious. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
