R help - Jan 2003 - How to run the simulations in the background

This is a graduate student in Texas A&M university.
I do the computational works usually in the Linux system.
I want to know how to run the R simulation in the background.
I went to the R-FAQ pages but i did not find it.
Thank you.

p.s.) Splus BATCH mysim.s out & is typed in case of Splus simulation.

R's manual page (man R) gives the list of commands one can invoke R 
with. One of them is "BATCH".

R BATCH mysim.r &

runs the mysim.r script in the background, all output is send to 
mysim.r.Rout.

Another way to do sort of the same is:

R < mysim.r > out &

which is also referred to in the manual page.
