in a fresh R session, to see what might be possible. I'll bet the
answer is, "No, you're screwed," though. Nevertheless, maybe Linux
experts can save you.
Maybe not. On a Unix-alike see ?Signals. If you can find the pid of
the R process and it is still running (and not e.g. suspended),
kill -USR1 <pid>
will save the workspace and history.
May the Force be with you.

I connected from my desktop Linux box to a Linux server using ssh in an
xterm, but that xterm was running in Xvnc. I'm running R on the server in
that xterm (over ssh). Something went wrong with Xvnc that has caused it to
hang, probably this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vnc4/+bug/819473
So I can't get back to that ssh session or to R. I had done a bunch of work
in R but the command history hasn't been written out. If I kill R, I assume
the command history is gone. I wish I could somehow cause R to dump the
command history. Is there any way to tell the running R process to write
the history somewhere?
Thanks in advance.
