[GRASSLIST:853] Re: have GRASS executing a command at startup

[lponti at infinito.it]

Thanks Hamish,

I will look over the references you gave me. Now that you 
tell me, I remember I thought that post was useful when I 
read it, but couldn't figure how. I will give it another 
try.
Thanks also for the grass.bashrc tips: they are great!
Ciao,

Luigi
