[R] (linux) display messages in R startup screen

[Wolfgang Raffelsberger]

Dear guRus,

I'm maintaining central R installation (Linux) for our institute.  The 
startup screen of R traditionally echoes some messages (starting with "R 
version ...Copyright (C).. The R Foundation for Statistical 
Computing...") and  I'd like to display for example right after these 
messages some other messages about our specific setup, how to contact me 
etc ...
What would be the best place to add this ?

I've been looking into the bin/ directory (ie /linux/local/lib64/R/bin) 
but I'm not shure about the best place/way for such messages.
On Windows I've used the etc/Rprofile.site for somehow similar issues, 
but I haven't seen any equivalent on our linux installation.

Any suggestions ?

Thank's in advance
Wolfgang
