Shut down during computing

Hello all,

I've set a model running which will take several hours (using rstanarm library). When I leave my computer and come back after enough time for my screen to turn off, I find the save dialogue box and my computing has been stopped. Does anyone have an idea about how to prevent this?

Does this work for you in R, but not in RStudio? (see FAQ below for disambiguation)

Hi Mara,

I didn't think to try that. I'll give that a try tonight and report back to you tomorrow. Many thanks for such a fast response!
