FYI:
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/ticket/118
Reported by: brfr
This ticket concerns the WinGRASS and OSGEO4W versions on Windows Vista (x64).I had problems executing grass commands that are batch files. I tested some variants in the grass command shell and it seems that there is a problem with the >/msys/sh.exe. I tried the latest version that is available on the MSYS/MinGW website and that solved my problems. The shipped version with OSGEO4W is >"Snapshot-2007.01.19-1", the currently available is "Production Release". My notes are available on the mailing list.
Issues in the GUIs: No menu opened for the commands. The log showed error messages like
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/GRASS/etc/wxpython/wxgui.py", line 521, in
OnMenuCmdmenuform.GUI().ParseCommand(cmd, parentframe=self)
File "C:\GRASS\etc\wxpython\gui_modules\menuform.py", line
1812, in ParseCommandxml.sax.parseString(getInterfaceDescription(cmd[0]).decode(e
nc).encode("utf-8"),
File "C:\GRASS\etc\wxpython\gui_modules\menuform.py", line
1751, in getInterfaceDescriptionraise IOError, _("Unable to fetch interface description for
command '%s'.") % cmd
IOError
:

'r.shaded.relief'.Using the grass shell shows error messages like
"c:/GRASS/msys/bin/sh.exe"-2.04$ c:/GRASS/scripts/r.fillnulls

longjmp"c:/GRASS/msys/bin/sh.exe": fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
"c:/GRASS/msys/bin/sh.exe"-2.04$
This lead me to the conclusion that there were problems with the shell program itself.
