Keep the try(a/b), but replace the conditional with

if (inherits(c, "try-error")) q("no")

See ?q if you want to set an error status to be returned, or do want to 
save the workspace, etc.

(And do use inherits() rather than comparing to a particular entry: 
your code will probably work in this example, but it's not the right way 
to test the class of something, and some day "try-error" might not be 
the first entry.)
