Limiting R Processes: System-Level Timeout Options for Infinite Hangs
The solution involves setting a system-level timeout on the R process itself or on an R subprocess using the timeout command on Linux. Here are some examples: Start an R process that hangs indefinitely: tools::Rcmd(c("SHLIB", "startInfiniteLoop.c")) dyn.load("startInfiniteLoop.so") .Call("startInfiniteLoop") Start an R process that hangs indefinitely and is killed automatically after 20 seconds: $ timeout 20 R -f startInfiniteLoop.R Invoke timeout from an R process using system2, passing variables to and from the subprocess: system2("timeout", c("20", "R", "-f", "startInfiniteLoop.
