[GRASSLIST:5540] Command-line invocation

[Michael Ash]

I would like to run v.support on many vector maps across mapsets and want to use a shellscript to manage the process.

With GISDBASE, LOCATION_NAME, MAPSET, etc., properly defined, is it possible to invoke GRASS with either a single grass command or the name of a grass shellscript, thus:

export MAPSET=angola
% grass5 - -text <grass command or grass shellscript to run v.support on several vector maps>
export MAPSET=botswana
% grass5 - -text <grass command or grass shellscript to run v.support on several vector maps>
export MAPSET=burundi

etc., etc.,

I am open to other suggestions if there is a better way.  (I have the countries in separate mapsets because the vector maps have the same generic name for each country (e.g., "airports").
