[GRASSLIST:821] Customizing startup

GRASS GRASS user

I would like grass to source a bash script after startup. Can this be automated? For example, adding a line to Init.sh somewhere?

I use Grass 5.0.2 on Cygwin/XP and would like to make a few aliases to ease starting monitors (which is a bit tedious right now in Cygwin because you need to both start it and then select it before first use---I think this is a known bug).

Currently I source a file manually after startup that has a few aliases defined:

alias x0="d.mon start=x0; d.mon select=x0"
alias x1="d.mon start=x1; d.mon select=x1"
and so on...

Thanks,

Try putting the commands in a file called .grass.bashrc in your home
directory.
