Dear List, I am unsure if this is the correct list to post to, if it isn't I apologise. I am using SSH to access a Linux version of R on a remote computer as it offers more memory and processing power. The model will take 1-2 days to run, I am accessing R through Putty and when I close the connection and open R again, I am faced with a new session. As a Linux newbie, I was wondering if anybody here knew how to keep R running and interactive and return to it on a later date?
I am not aware of any way to keep the R session interactive although perhaps a VNC server/client may offer this possibility. If you have a long calculation, put it all in a script named myScript.R (or any other file name) that does not require any human input, then run it as a batch using the nohup linux command: nohup R CMD BATCH myScript.R The nohup command will prevent the termination of your R after you log out, but you cannot run an interactive program this way.
