R help - Nov 2016 - Stop R script from running, when the memory goes beyond 15.4GB

Hi, 
???? I am using R 3.3.1 in RedHat Linux7 , 64bit system (16GB RAM).? I could run
simulation in R package, Boolnet for 25 genes without any problem. When I add
more gene i.e. 26 genes, the system becomes slow. Simulation keeps running for
more than a day. I have to stop the simulation, as it takes a lot of memory. I
need a suggestion here, I want to stop the script from running when the script
takes memory beyond 15.4 GB. How do I do it? Should I generate warning in my
script or use typeCatch?
Any idea or advice, would be of great help
Thank you
Priya
