[GRASSLIST:9578] Re: script for creating map

[Luigi Ponti]

The following script works when called from the command line of GRASS 
6.0.0 running under cygwin on windows NT. It saves the x0 monitor to a 
.png file.
Ciao,
Luigi

----script begins----

#!/bin/bash
d.mon start=x0
d.vect map=vectorName
d.out.png output=mapName
d.mon stop=x0

----script ends------
