Command line and R

Hi, I wrote a small R script (delta.R) using commandArgs(). The script works from the shell in usual way R --no-save arg1 < delta2.R Suppose arg1 is the output of another shell command (e.g. gawk, sed ...). Is there a way to tell R to read arg1 from the output of the previous command? Any other workaround?
Use shell variables, possibly also Sys.getenv() within R as well as or instead of commandArgs().
Thanks
