Currently, our organization grants some employees remote access to SAS and other software through a secure Citrix-based network server. We would like to install R on a dedicated network server and enable remote access through Citrix. Is this possible? If so, what additional software would we need? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Erick Edwards

But for occasional users, like students doing an assignment, this works well.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Should be simple. No licensing for R, and I'm assuming you mean the Citrix metaframe "winterm" product on top of Terminal Server (i.e. use RDP (remote desktop protocol) with rdesktop, winterms, or similar clients). best, -tony -- A.J.

Following up on Erick's post, does anybody know whether it is possible to start a lengthy batch-job in R, then log-out/break a dial-up connection (while R is still running) and later pick-up the R outfile?
