R help - Oct 2015 - How to direct R to read commands from a text file

All of the R commands that I want to issue are in a text file that concludes
with the R command quit (save = ?yes?), and is called R_commands.txt. I can
start R, and then manually issue
source (?R_commands.txt?).
But I would prefer to issue, from the bash command line, a one line command,
directing R to start, execute all of the R commands in R_commands.txt, and then
quit. How do I do that?
