You are conflating a few things here:
i) yes, you can run R from cron or task scheduler -- that is how R
updates webpages on the R site, how CRANberries is updated etc pp
ii) to a program, it doesn't matter who started it, be it the task
scheduler or interactive use (modulo correcly setup PATH et al
variables
iii) R and its predecessor systems have stopped and resumed for decades,
look at help(save.image) or help(save)
iv) Snapshotting running applications and resuming them elsewhere is
an operating system task -- some OSs do this, but typically not
in consumer grade versions.
Hope this helps, Dirk
