Hi all,
I would like to create a new GRASS databse
(with location definition etc.) by script.
Is there a way to do that?
Thank you

It depends what you really need : creating a database consists
mainly by some mkdir commands followed by the creation of the
PERMANENT location with the (text) files WIND, DEFAULT_WIND, MYNAME,
and maybe PROJECTION.
It isn't difficult to write a shell script doing that (or a
Tcl/tk script if you like graphic interfaces, but you can give
attributes to a shell script, so it may be easier to batch
the creation of multiple locations)
Maybe something like that for a command line :
m.create.location Middle-earth.PERMANENT "Gis for Tolkien stories" \
xmin=345000 ymin=756000 xmax=350000 ymax=760000 xres=50 yres=50

Markus,
You can use ECHO $var > file.name
to create the files (i.e., DEFAULT_WIN)
where $var contains text that you pass to the script in
the command line. For the first line you use > and
for the rest >> to append.
You can also create the directories with mkdir.
For example (this is not tested):
#!/bin/csh
#set echo
#set verbose
(uncomment for testing)
set nameLOC = $argv[1]
set nameMAPS = $argv[2]
set defWIN.proj = $argv[3]
etc
mkdir $nameLOC
cd $nameLOC
mkdir PERMANENT
cd PERMANENT
echo "proj: " $defWIN.proj > DEFAULT_WIN
echo "zone: " $defWIN.zone >> DEFAULT_WIN
and so on.
