Hi all,
several packages print messages during loading. How do I avoid to see
them when the packages are in the defaultPackages?
Here is an example.
With this in ~/.Rprofile
,----[ ~/.Rprofile ]
| old <- getOption("defaultPackages")
| options(defaultPackages = c(old, "filehash"))
| rm(old)
`----
I get as last line when starting R:
,----
| filehash: Simple key-value database (2.2-1 2012-03-12)
`----
Another package with (even more) prints during startup is tikzDevice.
How can I avoid to get these messages?
Regards,
Andreas

I'm pretty sure this has been asked before (although the wrinkle of adding a package to default packages may not have been part of that discussion.) Have you done any searching of the Archives?

On my machine typing suppress<tab> brings up an option of: suppressPackageStartupMessages You should append a leading "?" and read further.

I have only just now gotten your answer. Thanks for responding. As I already said in response to another message [fn:1] the 'wrinkle of adding a package to default packages' is what my question really is about. Sorry if I was unclear. Thanks to a very helpful answer proposing a solution using hooks [fn:2], I was actually able to solve my 'problem' with the filehash package.
