Subject: Is there a sleep, wait, pause function?
In-Reply-To: <Pine.GSO.4.10.10208231117180.23295-100000@speed>

Is there a (cross-platform) sleep/pause/wait function in [R]? 

I want to poll a file once in a while to see if and external process is
ready. Between each poll [R] should consume as little CPU as possible.

Thanks
