[GRASS-user] execute commands automatically after start of grass

GRASS GRASS user

Hi

I am using grass in combination with R, wherefore I have to start R
(or emacs) after starting grass.
Is there any way, to make this automatic, i.e., can I specify a script
which is executed inside grass after it is started?
In addition, I only would like that to happen when I start grass in a
certain mapset and not in other mapsets.

Thanks

Rainer

hi,

you can adjust anything in .grass.bashrc file

e.g.

#!/bin/sh
export GRASS_ADDON_PATH=$HOME/usr/grass/
export GRASS_PAGER=/bin/more

Thanks - that looks exactly what I am looking for.
But is there a way of specifying a certain .grass.bashrc which should be used?

The reasoning is that for certain projects I need R and emacs and
would like to start them automatically, for others not. Obviously, I
could use a startup script which renames the apropriate file to
.grass.bashrc, but it would be cleaner to be able to specify it when
starting grass.

Why not put a test inside .grass.bashrc to check if you are in the
mapset you want R to run?
Something like:
<pseudo-code here - can't remember bash sintax>
if [ $MAPSET = __your_targuet__ ]; do
   r &
  emacs &
fi

Cheers
Daniel

Good idea - I think I will go that way.
