Is there a way to suppress MOTD when starting up R?

R loads a long and redundant message every time I start up. Is there开发者_JS百科 a way to clear this using a command in my .rprofile?

Currently I just let it load then press ⌘ + L to clear it but it would be nice to just do it automatically.

How about the --quiet startup option? For me on Ubuntu :

$ R --quiet
