[R-sig-hpc] snow/snowfall: outputting iteration number

[Vinh Nguyen]

hmm, tried message(iter) in my wrapper function, and nothing get's printed.

my wrapper function is named Iteration() and takes in the iteration
number as it's argument, and get's executed in snowfall as:
result <- sfLapply( 1:nsim, Iteration, n=100)

any other suggestions?
