Execute R script in R studio using batch file

I want to execute a R script in R Studio using batch file. I know how to execute R script using batch file in R though. When I try to execute using the following: 

"C:\Program Files\RStudio\bin\rstudio.exe" CMD BATCH --vanilla --slave "C:\Users\kpappala\Desktop\R schedule\task.R"

It just opens R studio but doesn't execute. Is there a way?
Thanks!

This question was answered here: batch execute R script.

In short and as Dason said, you Rstudio is just a shell, and doesn't actually run the code. For that use R. Try this instead:

PATH C:\Program Files\R\R-3.1.0\bin;%path% Rscript "C:\Users\kpappala\Desktop\R schedule\task.R"

Rstudio is an IDE for R. It isn't R though. It doesn't really even make sense to run it in batch through rstudio.

If you're just saying you want to run a file from within Rstudio that's different and you can just source it or run it in batch via system using a call to R CMD BATCH.
