[R-SIG-Mac] How to interrupt an R process that hangs

[Matthew Keller]

HI all,

Apologies for this question. I'm sure it's been asked many times, but
despite 20 minutes of looking, I can't find the answer. I never use
the GUI, I use emacs, but my postdoc does, so I don't know what to
tell her about the following:

Occasionally she'll mess up in her code and cause R to hang
indefinitely (e.g., R is trying to do something that will take days).
In these situations, is there an option other than killing R (and the
work you've done on your script to that point)?

Thank you,

Matthew Keller
