R help - Sep 2019 - R_BATCH_OPTIONS not respected?

Hi,

I typically start R with "--no-restore --no-save" (to avoid .RData
files being written) and would like to have the same behavior under 'R
CMD BATCH'. I use R_BATCH_OPTIONS="--no-restore --no-save" in my
~/.Renviron but running an R script with 'R CMD BATCH' still produces
a .RData file. What's the correct way of getting the '--no-restore
--no-save' options when in batch mode?

(This is on macOS 10.14.6 with R version 3.6.1)

Thanks & cheers,
M

Maybe macOS is the problem?

It works fine on Linux:

export R_BATCH_OPTIONS='--no-save --no-restore'
R CMD BATCH <some>.R 

produces  <some>.Rout and nothing else  for me
