nohup and GRASS

[Peter P. Petri]

Greetings,

I would like to run processes that are not killed when I logout.  I have 
tried using the nohup command outside of GRASS and receive the following 
error message:

ERROR: GISRC - variable not set

My .grassrc file contains:

GIS: /local/grass 
GISDBASE: /wma5/peterp/grass 
LOCATION_NAME: lahonda
MAPSET: peterp 
DIGITIZER: none


My question is what other variable do I need to set in this file?  Is 
this not the correct file to update


Thanks in advance...
