[ESS] Launching R executables within custom shell environments

[Tyler Smith]

Hi Kyle,

I don't understand what the problem actually is. ESS already supports running a session on a remote computer, I'm not sure how that differs from what you are looking for?

See: https://ess.r-project.org/Manual/ess.html#ESS-processes-on-Remote-Computers

Best,

Tyler
