[GRASSLIST:8783] concurrent sessions from a shell script

GRASS GRASS user
1

Hello,
I want to import(or export) two or more different raster files into the same location and mapset in GRASS. I am doing this without entering GRASS environment through command line, but using a script. Can I do the import of multiple files in parallel? Will the concurrent session check still be done? Could there is any other problem?

In general, could there be any problem if I am running in parallel two different grass commands from two different script files on two entirely different raster files, but in the same location and mapset. Any responses greatly appreciated.

regards,
Upendra

Yes.

The most obvious source of potential conflict is the mapset's WIND
file.

However, so long as the two scripts don't try to create maps with the
same name, and don't try to modify the region, you can probably get
away with it. Essentially, it's your responsibility to ensure that no
conflicts occur.

Is there some reason you can't create a separate mapset for each
"session"?
