I have a server (ubuntu system) holding an opencpu website and I have a long for loop of some calculations, which takes a long time. I wonder if it is possible to keep R running in the background even if I close the web browser?

I have just tried this with a task of about 7s. Even after closing the browser, result files where produced in /tmp/ocpu-store. So it seems to work in principle. However, you have to keep in mind that there are various timeout parameters in the configuration /etc/opencpu/server.conf that might need adjustment.
BTW, I am assuming that your actual results are written somewhere on disk as a side effect of the function call.
