How to disable "Save workspace image?" prompt in R?

Haven't found the easiest Linux solution yet :)

On ubuntu add the following line to your ~/.bashrc:

alias R='R --no-save'

Every time you start the R console with R, it will be passed the --no-save option.


You can pass the --no-save command line argument when you start R, or you can override the q function:

utils::assignInNamespace(
  "q", 
  function(save = "no", status = 0, runLast = TRUE) 
  {
    .Internal(quit(save, status, runLast))
  }, 
  "base"
)

Put the above code in your .Rprofile so it will be run on startup for every session.
