[R] background computation,

2005-11-28 Thread Koen Hufkens
Hi list,

Is there a way to process R commands in the background other then using
R in batch mode? I'm looking for the equivalent of the  operator on the 
*nix commandline.

Cheers,
Koen

Hey Koen,

Well, that's not R-specific, but what I do is to use screen, which is
a handy little program that emulates multiple screens in one console.

So you start screen, fire up R, work with it as usual; then with
Ctrl-a-d you can detach from the screen and do whatever you want
before reattaching with screen -r.

More info with man screen. :)

Best,
Marc
