You can run R as a command line tool:

   R --slave < somescript.R

You can run in batch mode, which is a bit different: R CMD BATCH
somescript.R

There is a separate project called littler which behaves more like a
typical unix tool than R does on its own.

For building web GUIs you might want to look at:

   Rpad
   Rserve
   
For more robust webservices approach see this post:

There is also a project called carmaweb:
