# NOT RUN {
## when your code is extremely time-consuming, 
# you may need this function; 
# e.g. you wish to go to sleep, 
# while keeping R running with a long computation... 
# complex graphics... and long long computation... 
# at last,
os.manage()
## the next day you wake up, "thank you, R" :)
