Marko -
I can't resist.
The next more elegant solution would be to have a single R process
poll the directory entry for "named.file" periodically to see whether
the file date has changed since it was last read. See help("file.info")
for an R tool that will help do this. Use 'system("sleep 600", F)'
in R to space the polling ten minutes apart.
