How to suppress R startup message?

Question

Running on Windows 7

rterm < foo.r > temp.txt

The output file starts with:

R         


        

Answer 1

Invoking R from the command line:

--quiet
--silent
-q

Do not print out the initial copyright and welcome messages.

--slave

Make R run as quietly as possible. This option is intended to support programs which use R to compute results for them. It implies --quiet and --no-save.
