I find vnc sometimes helps with keeping a X active for an R session. Also, if you take care to close your x11 devices, and if when you re-ssh you happen to get the same forwarded X DISPLAY=localhost:11.0 or whatever, the R session in screen will use the new forwarded connection. It also seems like using Sys.putenv(DISPLAY='localhost:11.0') overrides the DISPLAY that screen's child R session inherits from the initial invocation of screen.

Re: [R] Start and Restart R over SSH
Hi Nils, if the server you're using is *NIX, this is what you can do: example ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] screen R << do what you need in R>> << close the terminal without quitting R >> ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] screen -r << continue working in R >> %% end example the "problem" is if you need X... it works until you quit the terminal, but "screen -r" doesn't reconnect the X11. b On Feb 19, 2007, at 9:40 AM, Douglas Bates wrote: > On 2/19/07, Nils Höller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I have some big calculations in R to be done. >> Since I can use R on a server with ssh, i was wondering if I can >> reopen >> a R Shell after exiting ssh. >> >> I don't want to use the batch mode and nohup doesn't work. >> >> I want to use something like >> ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> R >> ---do something in R and start calculation --- >> close ssh but let R remain on the server, doing the calculation >> >> ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> open the existing R Shell / Process >> >> Has anyone done something similiar? >> Can you help me or suggest an other solution ? > > I don't think it is possible to reattach to a process started in one > ssh session from another ssh session.

However, you can put a session No, it is. Check out the screen command - it is backgrounding your session, you can have several running at the same time and reattach and they persist between logouts (obviously, if you switch the computer of, it is gone...)

I don't think it is possible to reattach to a process started in one ssh session from another ssh session. However, you can put a session into the background with the -f flag to ssh. You haven't told us what operating system you are starting the ssh connection on and what system will run the R process. If I had an X server running on the local system and the remote system provided X clients like xterm I would do this by ssh -X -f [EMAIL PROTECTED] xterm This should spring up an autonomous xterm window on the local machine after which you can run R in it. I hope this helps. __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
[R] Start and Restart R over SSH
Hi, I have some big calculations in R to be done. Since I can use R on a server with ssh, i was wondering if I can reopen a R Shell after exiting ssh. I don't want to use the batch mode and nohup doesn't work. I want to use something like ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] R ---do something in R and start calculation --- close ssh but let R remain on the server, doing the calculation ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] open the existing R Shell / Process Has anyone done something similiar? Can you help me or suggest an other solution ?
