I have not tired sink yet. I was asking for best processes by soliciting input from others who have succeeded in this effort before. My question is more conceptual in nature, a research point, to learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of options.

?sink explicitly says:

"sink diverts R output to a connection (and stops such diversions)"

Is this not exactly what you requested? If not, why not? Have you
tried it to see?

Nice! Thanks for the reply.

I will research over the next few days.

How about the sink() and capture.output() functions? Have you ever used
them?

Dear Stephen,

Maybe running R in batch mode is what
you're after?  E.g. running

       R CMD BATCH ./process/script-name.r

creates ./process/script-name.Rout (or
./process/script-name.rout ?) with
output of R commands and inline output,
I think stderr (maybe others?  Not only
stdout like tee ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_streams )

Note, the batch output is overwritten,
as opposed to being appended to (the tee
-a flag) the next time you run that line
again ...

Best,
Rasmus
