R help - Nov 2010 - external R scripts

Is it possible to send data from an executing R script, to external R script
files, on linux in this case, get that external R script to execute, and pass
results back to the central script?  If so what commands should I be looking at?
I've googled for R and external, stuff like that but no luck.

The reason for the question is that I need to generate simulation data, then
perform several different analyses on the same data set, then collate the
results.  All individual analyses can be done sequentially, or perhaps more
quickly by doing the individual analyses simultaneously if I pass them to
external functions.

Thanks

It would be possible to call other R scripts using calls to ?system or 
?system2 and ?Rscript, provided you formatted what you passed as [args] 
and how your scripts handled [args].
