Most of the work done by the syncing functions is just formatting things properly. Having that format standardized prevents me from making careless mistakes. In some cases it's convenient to have all this go through R so that I don't have to shift focus to Terminal.

However, for scripts that will take a really long time to run, it would be better to simply run them through Terminal to free up R on my computer (even if my computer isn't doing the heavy lifting of running the R code [amphiprion is], I don't want my console spinning).

The first solution that came to mind here is rather manual: have an option to spit out the cat() version of the system call, and not do the system call. Then I can copy it from the R console and paste it into terminal.

Better idea though (maybe, probably): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24257271/r-using-wait-false-in-system-with-multiline-commands

Make use of the wait argument in system(). I'm glad I looked this up ... seems confusing and a little tricky ^ Easy once you read that answer (second part in particular, about wrapping in ()'s).
