Concurrent use of GRASS4.2

If you want five seperate users in their own spaces, use 5 users in their
own accounts.

If you want multiple instances of GRASS, where they can affect each
other's current region, then rm .gislock before you start a new session of
GRASS. At startup, GRASS checks for the existence of ~/.gislock . If this
file is not present, GRASS starts. The only problem with concurrent usage
is that region changes can affect all the sessions in the same
Location/Mapset space. This is not a problem when you have multiple
accounts, because it is not a collection of different users on the same
account in the same space.

Good Luck
