[GRASSLIST:2044] Re: mail and i.rectify

[William K]

There is an invisible startup file in your home folder called 
.grassrc5.  You can disable the mail thing by adding a line to it:

GRASS_STDERR: 1

BBEdit can open invisible files, otherwise use something like 
TinkerTool to temporarily make it visible and use another text editor 
(you may need to remove the leading dot to edit it, and make sure you 
use Plain Text, UNIX line endings).  Argh, this is getting messy for 
trying to do this with non-command-line stuff.  If you know how to use 
one of the CLI editors (I don't), that would be another method.  Maybe 
someone else knows a simple CLI command to add a line to a file.

I think you also need to have a log file present, so in the Terminal 
type:

touch ~/GIS_ERROR_LOG


Now, errors and status will not be mailed - status should go to the 
terminal, while errors go to GIS_ERROR_LOG.
