[GRASS-user] g.parser header definitions

Hi,

I am having problems with g.parser. I am trying to convert one of my shell scripts into a module.

I've looked at the manual page and can run the example shell script there, but when I change the settings in the top section to describe my own variables it crashes with:

execl() failed: Exec format error

Is there any more documentation on how to write the headers? I have some other questions:
- what does the gisprompt option do?
- what types are available? string, integer, float?
- what does the answer option do?

Cheers

John

Does the file start with "#!/bin/sh"?

Use e.g. "od -t x1z script.sh | head" to ensure that your text editor
hasn't added a UTF-8 BOM at the start of the file.
