[GRASS-user] Kyngesburye GRASS on Mavericks, command line access

[William Kyngesburye]

Ah, I guess the symlink won't work - the grass.sh script sees the symlink location as it's starting point instead of in the app.  It probably needs some shell redirect thing (like a script in /usr/local/bin instead of a symlink) that I don't really know much about.  Or maybe a shell alias would work (again, shell dummy here).

It doesn't seem to install to the bin, the way that the Linux versions do.  Here's my situation. I have a script that we can call "geographizer.sh" that contains lots and lots of instructions for GRASS that was written by a colleague. This script needs to be executed at the end of a complex Python script, with the last command being, essentially, "Now, run this bash script!" My question is whether or not I can, so to speak, use the WK GRASS as if it were installed in the bin, as it is in Ubuntu.  If so, can someone guide me through setting that up?
