Create GRASS database by script

[Agustin Lobo]

Markus,

You can use ECHO $var > file.name

to create the files (i.e., DEFAULT_WIN)
where $var contains text that you pass to the script in
the command line. For the first line you use > and
for the rest >> to append.
You can also create the directories with mkdir.
For example (this is not tested):

#!/bin/csh
#set echo
#set verbose 
(uncomment for testing)
set nameLOC = $argv[1]
set nameMAPS = $argv[2]
set defWIN.proj = $argv[3]
etc
mkdir $nameLOC
cd $nameLOC
mkdir PERMANENT
cd PERMANENT
echo "proj: " $defWIN.proj > DEFAULT_WIN
echo "zone: " $defWIN.zone >> DEFAULT_WIN

and so on.

Agus
