Hi
Is there a way to detect that the process that corresponds to a pipe has
ended? On my system (Ubuntu 13.04), I see
> p <- pipe("true", "w"); Sys.sleep(1); system("ps -elf | grep true |
grep -v grep"); isOpen(p)
[1] TRUE
The "true" process has long ended (as the filtered ps system call emits
no output), still R believes that the pipe p is open.
Thanks for your input.
Best regards
Kirill
