There is a facility for mailing errors to the user built into the
libgis error functions (G_warning/G_fatal_error), and that can be
disabled by setting GRASS_STDERR.However, photo.rectify has its own version of this functionality, and
there doesn't appear to be an override. Unless you have a working
"mail" program (which implies a working local mail system), you can't
see the messages.OTOH, I suppose that you could create a dummy "mail" script which just
appends its input to a log file.
should this be ripped out of the rectify programs? The speed/use of
modern UNIX computers makes this functionality a bit weird, and the user
can always background the job themselves if they want to do something
else.
code simplification and all that.
