Execute expr with a timeout?
See (R-devel)
o Experimental setTimeLimit() function to set limits on the CPU
and/or elapsed time for each top-level computation.
Note that this is unfinished, and the interface may well change before
release.

Hello, Does someone know how to execute an expression in R, limiting the time to evaluate it and raising an exception if it takes too long to run? Something like:
with.timeout(expr, timeout = 10)
which stops the evaluation of 'expr' if it is not done after 10 sec? Best, Philippe Grosjean
