Any way to run an R function every 5 minutes from the R terminal? Searched

Yes, but not in the background:
repeat {
f()
Sys.sleep(300)
}
If you want it run in the background, get your OS to run R to do it.
(It's possible the tcltk package will give you access to some tcl way to
set a background process; I don't know. Similarly, you could call out
to C and start up another thread, etc., but R itself is single-threaded.)
