non-interactive start

[Andrew E Long]

Hi Karin,
	I see that Michel answered your question, but I thought that I'd
attach my "batch-grass" shell script. I think that you'll only need to
change one line in this file:

GISBASE=/data/grass/ftp/src421

to whatever your GISBASE is.

	Hope this helps. Get back with any questions.
Andy

			    batch-grass usage:

    batch-grass runs a command (or executes all commands in a file) in the
grass environment. It simply sets some environmental variables and executes
the commands.

	batch-grass location_name mapset command
	batch-grass location_name mapset -file filename

e.g.,

	batch-grass usgs PERMANENT -file make-quads
