Hi, I would just like to mention that several GRASS users in our research group use GRASS in this way. The ability to check on remote jobs via d.* commands is critical to the way we use GRASS. I am not insisting that we preserve them, however, it would be nice to have similar functionality in GRASS 7. Loading the current GUI over a slow SSH connection is not really an ideal solution. So far it sounds like a wrapper than sets environmental variables is a good start. I suppose that would work, with some kind of auto-refresh png viewer. Is it possible to use the Wx canvas (without all of the other GUI stuff) such that it can be written to with d.* commands?
