R's manual page (man R) gives the list of commands one can invoke R 
with. One of them is "BATCH".

R BATCH mysim.r &

runs the mysim.r script in the background, all output is send to 
mysim.r.Rout.

Another way to do sort of the same is:

R < mysim.r > out &

which is also referred to in the manual page.
