I am slightly confused by the way the standard output is redirected in a R
snow cluster environment.
I am using parLapply from the snow package to execute a function on my
MPI/LAM cluster. How can I redirect standard output (produced using "cat")
from this function back to the terminal where I invoked it? I intend to
transmit some status information in advance to the final result of the
function. I investigated the chain of functions called by parLapply and it
seems that snow is designed to just retrieve the final result of the
computation.

Thanks in advance for any hints,
Frank Preiswerk
