How can I suppress this message? I did not see the possibility of doing this in the Rprofile.site file. Of course, I can use another program to delete the first N lines of the output file, but more elegantly to suppress the start message?

Call R from the command line :

 --quiet --silent -q

Do not print the initial copyright message and greetings.

 --slave

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