Works for me using our 'little r' aka littler tool:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> r -e 'cat("Hello stderr\n", file=stderr()); cat("Hello
stdout\n")' > /tmp/ivo.txt
Hello stderr
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> cat /tmp/ivo.txt
Hello stdout
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>
So capture stdout as one commonly does, yet stderr comes through for alerts.
