its summary to a named file. Then your simulation code does a system
call (somehow) that creates a subshell with a Bourne or csh command
line and sends the command R --vanilla script.file . (I'm not

I can't resist.
The next more elegant solution would be to have a single R process
poll the directory entry for named.file periodically to see whether
the file date has changed since it was last read. See help(file.info)
for an R tool that will help do this. Use 'system(sleep 600,

. . . and, using a single R process, rather than calling it
from inside the simulation code, means that the R process doesn't
need to be running on the same machine as the simulation code.
It only needs to run on a machine which has shared file access
with the simulation process.
