Creating .Rout.save files for package subdirectory "tests"

I added the "tests" subdirectory and a test file (say "myTest.R") to our "systemfit" package. Up to now I create the "myTest.Rout.save" file with
R CMD BATCH --vanilla myTest.R myTest.Rout.save
However, "R CMD check" reports two differences between myTest.Rout.save and the output of myTest.R: a) myTest.Rout.save contains following extra line at the beginning of the file:
invisible(options(echo = TRUE))
b) myTest.Rout.save contains the following 2 extra lines at the very end of the file:
proc.time()
[1] 1.80 0.07 2.00 0.01 0.00 Everytime I change myTest.R and create a new myTest.R.save file I have to delete these 3 lines by hand. I could do this e.g. by a script using "sed", but I wonder if I can start "R CMD BATCH" with an option that suppresses any commands that are not in the input file, i.e. "invisible(options(echo = TRUE))" and "proc.time()".
This is not what R CMD BATCH is intended for, so on such option exists.
Or what is the easiest way to create .Rout.save files? (I am using R 2.0.0 on a i686 PC with SuSE Linux 9.0)
1) Run R CMD check and copy myTest.Rout[.fail] to pkg-name/tests/myTest.Rout.save. 2) R --vanilla < myTest.R > myTest.Rout.save 2>&1 if you use sh. R --vanilla < myTest.R >&! myTest.Rout.save if you use csh
