This is really an Ubuntu question, isn't it?

I'd suggest writing a script which calls your R batch file.  The last 
thing the batch file should do is write some sort of status value.  The 
last thing the script should do is check and act on the status.

Of course, if whatever kills your batch file kills the script too, 
you're out of luck.
