Hello,

Two approaches depending when you want to trigger this background 
calculation:

1) It is enough to trigger the background computation after each 
top-level instruction entered at the command line: use ?addTaskCallback

2) You want to trigger the background calculation at a given time, or 
redo it every xxx ms. This is a little bit more complicate. I have 
success using the tcltk package and the 'after' Tcl function.

Best,

Philippe Grosjean
