[GRASS-user] d.out.file - Shell-script use ?

["Peter Löwe"]

Hi all,

I'm trying call up d.out.file from within an add-on Shell-script for GRASS 6.>=4, but keep getting the following error:
ERROR: No such monitor as <GRASS_MONITOR>
d.out.file output=test20141110 format=geotiff resolution=1 size=1440,720
ERROR: You must select a display monitor.

Let's assume that a GRASS monitor has been _started_ and _selected_ (x0, PNG, or similar) in the current GRASS session and some rasters and vectors have been drawn on it. Then, the script is invoked which needs to write out the content of the currently active monitor. 

Up till now neither a simple "export `g.gisenv`" or an explicit re-selecting the monitor via "d.mon select=$THECURRENTMONITOR" within the script improved the situation.

Hints and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Peter
