[GRASS-dev] Re: GRASS startup behaviour on Win differs from Unix

[Benjamin Ducke]

In answer to myself:

Init.sh has this:

  # User selects LOCATION and MAPSET if not set
  if [ ! "$LOCATION" ] ; then

      [...]

  	# Check for text interface
  	text)
	    "$ETC/set_data"


Whereas Init.bat just does:

  :text

  "%WINGISBASE%\etc\set_data"


So it will always go to the interactive login,
no matter if $LOCATION is already set or not.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to have both scripts
behave identically?
