or equivalent in your shell. But note that Rscript produces no
output itself:
tystie% touch test.r
tystie% Rscript test.r
tystie%
so anything you see is created by your script. If your script
produces output you do not want, the problem lies in your script.
Depending how it is doing it, consider functions like invisible(),
sink() and suppressMessages().

--slave is the default for Rscript: use Rscript --verbose to see what
it is doing (see ?Rscript).

(That one is because you did not specify methods as part of the
initial package list: see ?Rscript.)
