Hi,

Try to give an impossible file name (command to pipe through) for dev.print:

> plot(1:4)
> dev.print(file="|llllll")

I got the response

sh: llllll: command not found

Process R broken pipe at Wed Aug 28 14:42:27 2002

After which R was killed (or at least vanished from the process list).

Best,

Ott
