R help - Mar 2009 - Sending an alert / email when R finished?

Hi,

Not sure if this is the best section to post it in. I'm doing lengthy runs
on a 30GB data set - I would like to know if it is possible through any
means for R to send an email / text message or anything when it has finished
running a source file.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Nick.
