[R] Running R on a grid engine

[S Peri]

Dear Group, 
 I am using DEAL package for modeling signal
transduction nets.  This process is deal slow on a
SunFire server with 8 gigs ram. 

we have a grid that can process much faster that one
individual server.  

However, to start the process in Grid, I have to give
a command or submit a batch process. 

Is there any way, I can run R in bach process. 

I tried the following:

R CMD | library(deal) | data <-
data.frame(read.table('file1',header=TRUE,
row.names=1))

Here I do not know know :

1. How can I point my data files to a function. 
2. creating a function (other than in R environment)


Could any one help me. 

Thank you in advance.


Cheers
Peri.
