Dear snow users,
is there any way to specify a max time after which makeSOCKcluster() stops
trying to create socket connections and gives up/returns ?
In my current setup (MAC OSX 10.5.8, R version 2.9) I have to force quit R
if the host specified in makeSOCKcluster() either does not exist or does not
respond.
On Linux, I can at least manually interrupt the function via Ctrl-C

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Markus
