Hello,
I’m currently running a script that takes several days to complete, and
have therefore chosen to start two instances of R, each doing half the
work (since I have a two-processor machine). The problem is that this
renders my computer worthless to do other work on. So - is it possible
to pause one of the running R instances to do other things for a while,
and then starting it again without losing anything?
TL;DR I want to know if it is possible to pause a running script.
Well it is easy on Unix/Linux and presumably also MacOSX, but (as Brian
Ripley once put it) since you're not telling us what OS you are using,
it is probably Windows... Looks like iet is possible there via 3rd party
tools; e.g., there's something called DTaskManager.
I realized I missed that just after submitting... But you were right of
course - I am a Windows user.
DTaskManager did the trick - many thanks!
