R help - Oct 2009 - embedding R CMD BATCH in a unix shell script

Hi folks,

I have a one line shell script which looks like this:

  R CMD BATCH --no-restore --no-save foo.R

It executes the R program in foo.R and generates
output called foo.Rout.

Is there any way that I can force the output to come
to stdout and stderr (instead of foo.Rout)?

What I really want to do is the following (call it
myscript):

  #!/bin/bash

  # do some work with bash and send the output
  # to stdout and stderr
             .
             .
  # now is the time to invoke my R script

  R CMD BATCH --no-restore --no-save myRscript.R

  exit

I want the entire output to go to stdout and stderr,
so that I can call it as:

  myscript > myscript.out 2>> myscript.out

Rather than:

  myscript > myscript.out 2>> myscript.out
  cat myRscript.out >> myscript.out

I would appreciate it if someone shows me how to
do this.
