Subject: quit d.m automatically after typing exit to GRASS prompt

Platform: GNU/Linux/i386
grass obtained from: Trento Italy site
grass binary for platform: Compiled from Sources
GRASS Version: CVS 6.1 checked out at 20050805

Dear Developers,

would it be possible to quit the d.m GUI automatically when typing exit at the GRASS prompt. It is only one more mouse click - I know, but it is annoying if you often need to change locations.

thanks a lot

I have merged this into

I am not sure how this could be done. Save the d.m PID on
startup in a env var and the kill it?

startup in a env var and the kill it?

Maybe have d.m (and maybe other interactive and parallel-exxecuting scripts,
e.g. nviz) write its PID into the /tmp grass directory as stg like
'killmeonexit1234' where 1234 is the process PID, and upon exit kill all such
notes from Init.(c)sh.

bash has a huponexit option (activate with shopt) that sends a SIGHUP to all
child processes upon exit. Is this inherited from sh or yet another useful
GNUism? Equivalent in csh?

Daniel.
