I always use computer of campus to run R program. Every time, I always check it in terminal (I use ssh to connect to that computer) again and again to see whether the program is finished or not. Is there a way that the computer which is running my program can reminds me (e.g. send email to me) when the program is finished?

Ok. so if you luanch the R task from bash script and after the task you write the mail command it should work. – yossico Apr 18 '15 at 22:56
