Anyway I highly suggest to write new scripts in Python, see
[1]. Probably it's personal point of view, but writing shell
scripts was always pain for me and I can hardly imagine person
(without previous scripting experience) who prefers to learn
how to write shell scripts rather then to learn Python. Python
is quite easy language to learn for newcomers. Shell scripts
are simply not good choice for writing sometimes quite
complicated GRASS scripts.
I completely agree. All the same, often they are quite useful
and powerful.
