Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever written a function that sends an email to you when an R process has finished? For instance, I often work with very large data sets and certain tasks (e.g., merging records, lmer runs) can take a long time and I find myself constantly looking over to see if R is done.
But, it would just be neat if there was a way R could send me an email alerting me that a process has finished. I'm guessing this could be made possible (on Windows) via system() or shell(). Just curious if anyone has thought of this.
