Most GRASS commands create or modify maps. You can display any map in gis.m.

It is not clear what you want to do. If you'd like a shell-script to
automatically create a display, you cannot do this in gism, because the
display is done within TclTk. This is an interactive display and is designed
to be controlled by the user, not a script.

You can have a shell script use GRASS commands to display a map in an
xterminal or activate some kind of viewer that will display PNG or PPM
graphic files.
