[GRASSLIST:5124] Re: Proper way to run 5.7 in batch mode?

[Markus Neteler]

Craig,

please have a look at 
 $GISBASE/etc/make_location_epsg_g57.sh

or  (src code)
 lib/init/make_location_epsg_g57.sh

to see how GRASS 5.7 can be used in batch mode. The
suggested script is doing that to run g.proj (used
to generate new locations in the startup screen).

You can easily adapt it for your needs.
