[R] R command execution at specific time from within R

[Greg Snow]

If you really have to do this within R (see Dirk's reply for other
options) then the tclTaskSchedule function in the tcltk2 package is
one option.  However this can be dangerous if you are using the same
instance of R while waiting.  You might accidentally change something
that affects or is affected by the scheduled code and create a hard to
find bug.


Another is just to use a repeat loop with Sys.sleep for the delays.
This will not allow you to use that instance of R for anything else.
