Thanks to Martin for additional off-list discussion; this is now addressed
'both ways' as I did file bug report #18913 with the short patch but also
have a short check in .Rprofile serving the same purpose:
## interactive sessions get a fortune cookie (needs fortunes package)
quiet <- any(!is.na(match(c("-q", "--quiet"), commandArgs())))
if (interactive() && !quiet && requireNamespace("fortunes", quietly=TRUE))
print(fortunes::fortune())
This could be made a little better with #18913 to provide quiet() but already
works. Now, when I use '-q' in startup no fortune is shown as desired.
Cheers, Dirk
