R help - Aug 2012 - Saving Data

I have a researcher who is running a large R job The job is currently on
3725 iterations. The total number of iterations is 27500. Is there a way to
kill this and recover the data that has been generated thus far?

Thanks,

Eric

Not likely, unless the process is writing it out to file.

It's conceivable that you could cause a debugger to interrupt the 
process (or cause the OS to abort it and dump memory to a file for post 
mortem debugging), but it's not at all easy to find anything useful in 
such a situation.
