If you can't get to the command line where you started R, then you can send the process the 'STOP' and 'CONT' signals using the 'kill' command. You need to get the process ID (see "man ps" for this) and then use "kill -STOP 12345" and "kill -CONT 12345" where 12345 is the process ID. Quite what happens if you are running multiple R threads via the multicore package or any of the other multiple process packages... I don't know... Of course the real answer is to run long processes on a server - preferably one with an uninterruptible power supply and a diesel generator - or make your process checkpointable so you can kill it and restart it again.
