No - this doesn't work. The idea is to use this from R to set the environmental parameter when using spgrass6. If I call grass -text from R (all in the terminal), the grass session opens and I am in grass, but I can not do anything from R, which I want to do. So it seems that the grass startup script recognises that it is not in a shell, and then starts one? If this starting of the shell could be suppressed, I would expect that starting grass with the -text option should work. I would assume that this would be similar to setting GRASS_BATCH_JOB, only that GRASS does not exit automatically. Something like a GRASS_BATCH_MODE - or one could call it a GRASS_SERVER_MODE?
