How to suppress message in system()

Hi,

There is a function called system() with which one can run system code
within R. But I am wondering if there is any way to suppress any message
when invoking system().

For example let run 'df_dummy' through system() [yes, this is just dummy
command which would throw error while invoking]
sh: df_dummy: command not found

I want to suppress the message 'sh: df_dummy: command not found'

I am running R in iOS Mavericks

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks,
Simon Urbanek

See 
?system
in particular ignore.stdout and ignore.stderr parameters. Those are not messages and thus have nothing to do with suppressMessages().

Cheers,
Simon
