Re: [GRASS-user] Call script automatically when launching Grass-GIS]

So what I would like to do is: - start Grass-GIS in text mode in a location (/home/user/grassdata/location) - automatically launch the script (which is a simple bash loop on g.mlist, calling on v.info and r.info to pull the metadata into a text file) - exit at the end. The script works fine if I execute it in Grass-GIS but I would like to have it run without intervention. That way, I can schedule the catalogue to run overnight on all machines. So is there a way to pass the script to Grass-GIS to run 'hands-off'? If you are using GNU/Linux see cron, gnome-schedule, kcron and bcron for scheduled tasks. ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user

You can get a complete list of environment variables by searching for export in etc/Init.sh, but the main ones are PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, GISBASE, GISRC and GIS_LOCK. -- Glynn Clements [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
