I don't think it is possible to reattach to a process started in one ssh session from another ssh session. However, you can put a session into the background with the -f flag to ssh. You haven't told us what operating system you are starting the ssh connection on and what system will run the R process. If I had an X server running on the local system and the remote system provided X clients like xterm I would do this by ssh -X -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] xterm This should spring up an autonomous xterm window on the local machine after which you can run R in it. I hope this helps. ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
