I'm sure there are many ways to do this, but one is to write the
script, say myscript.R, just as a list of R commands, and then
write, on the command line:

R --vanilla < myscript.R

See the bottom of http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/~baron/
for a couple of examples.  The "vanilla" prevents R from reading
various files, which, if they run, will lead it to present
various prompts, etc.  (See R --help for details.)
