Is it possible to send data from an executing R script, to external R script files, on linux in this case, get that external R script to execute, and pass results back to the central script?  If so what commands should I be looking at?  I've googled for R and external, stuff like that but no luck.

The reason for the question is that I need to generate simulation data, then perform several different analyses on the same data set, then collate the results.  All individual analyses can be done sequentially, or perhaps more quickly by doing the individual analyses simultaneously if I pass them to external functions.

Thanks
