One easy way of doing this without having to lookup process IDs is to use the 'htop' application (similar to 'top', only better). Just select the process (a running R process is usually at the top, and selected by default), press 'k' (for 'kill'), and select the appropriate signal to send. If you use KDE, you can press 'Ctrl + Escape' to get a similar graphical process viewer. I *think* you can suspend processes from it, but I'm not at a Linux machine right now, so I can't check. -- Karl Ove Hufthammer ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org 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.
