Comment(by rkrug):

 Some remarks concerning the syntax:

 1) I don't like the idea of having to repeat the mapset each time as it
 will require quite a bit of typing and possible errors in longer scripts.
 So the assumption to use the mapset which is in the rc file (i.e., if I am
 correct, the one used before), would be quite useful.

 2) Instead of using the normal `grass` command, I would suggest to
 introduce a new command(e.g. {{{ggrassbatch}}}), which is taking only one
 parameter: the command to be executed including the parameter. So it could
 be used as

 {{{grassbatch r.info}}}

 3) The function {{{grassbatch}}} should accept, in addition to the normal
 grass commands, one more command named e.g. {{{set.mapset}}} which is only
 doing one thing, setting the mapset in the rc file, so this would be the
 mapset to be used for all following {{{grassbatch}}} commands, unless the
 mapset is changed.

 So a script could look as followed:
 {{{
 grassbatch set.mapset ~/grassdata/nc_spm_08_grass7/user1
 grassbatch .../test_script.sh
 grassbatch r.info
 grassbatch r.mapcalc "aaa = 5"
 }}}
