[R-sig-hpc] Any way to query the setDefaultCluster?

[Jonathan Greenberg]

To clarify: if I "forget" to store a cluster object:

myfunction <- function()
{
library("parallel")
cl <- makeCluster(2,type="PSOCK")
setDefaultCluster(cl)
return(cl)
}

myfunction()

Is there any way to stop this running cluster short of quitting out of R?

--j
