[GRASSLIST:4541] turnoff tcl/tk interface

Hello,

    I looked for the answer to this question in the FAQ's and by searching the mailing list, but didn't find the answer I was looking for. I'm accustomed to using previous versions of GRASS interactivly from the command line... and don't care for the tcl/tk interface... so I'd like to be able to disable this...
    The docs say that I should be able to set GRASS_GUI to 'text' to do this, which I have done... this does in fact disable the initial gui for selecting mapset / location / etc... but does nothing for commands that I might issue afterwards (e.g. r.in.gdal, r.colors, etc...) these interfaces still pop-up...
    Can someone tell me what the magic incantation is to get all these gui's to stop popping up?

Thanks,

Rob

I take it you're using 5.7? Setting the environment variable GRASS_UI_TERM to anything should stop this. Note that the tcltkgrass menu entries won't work if you have this set, as they assume it isn't set.

To stop the GUI appearing on startup all you have to do is start once as
'grass57 -text'. After that the setting will be stored in your .grassrc{57}
file.
