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
