 Replying to [comment:2 pmav99]:
 > OK, after writing `exit` on the console, the GRASS session finally
 exits.

 The script `run_gui.sh` calls grass77 which establishes a GRASS session on
 the command line. The GUI is only started with grass77 --gui, or if the
 stored settings indicate that the last time GRASS was started with a GUI.
 That means the name `run_gui.sh` is misleading because it establishes a
 GRASS session on the command line and maybe starts the GUI, maybe not. In
 order to terminate the script grass77 and thus leave the GRASS session,
 you need to type `exit` in the command line. This has been standard GRASS
 behaviour for decades.
