title: 'heartbeatr: Heartbeat Support using ''Redis'''
version: 0.6.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.heartbeatr
abstract: Simple heartbeat support for R using 'Redis'. A heartbeat is a background
  thread that acts as a dead-man's switch. It will create a key on Redis that will
  automatically expire after a number of seconds and then periodically refresh that
  key, even when the R process is busy. If the process dies for some reason, then
  the key will disappear. A heartbeat can be used to detect loss of worker processes
  on shared systems.
