Yes, you simply have to redirect the input of R from stdin to a file,
i.e.,

	R [--save|--no-save] < cmdfile

reads the commands in cmdfile as if they were typed at the prompt. You
have to specify --save or --no-save, stating wether the environment
should be saved to the .RData file upon exiting.

Best,
