It is fairly easy to write a GRASS job as Shell script which launches GRASS, does the operation and cleans up the temporary files.

=== Setting the variables ===

You have to set a couple of variables to enable GRASS command to run (see ''''GRASS Batch jobs'''' below for easier solution!).

''[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gis.grass.user/17980 See this post] to the mailing list. Proabably need to update this wiki page with that information.''

# Example in bash shell syntax:

# path to GRASS binaries and libraries:
export GISBASE=/usr/local/grass64

export PATH=$PATH:$GISBASE/bin:$GISBASE/scripts
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$GISBASE/lib

# use process ID (PID) as lock file number:
export GIS_LOCK=$$

# settings for graphical output to PNG file (optional)
export GRASS_PNGFILE=/tmp/grass6output.png
export GRASS_TRUECOLOR=TRUE
export GRASS_WIDTH=900
export GRASS_PNG_COMPRESSION=1

The following variable defines where the GRASS settings file is stored. This can be anywhere on the system. You could also generate the '.grassrc6' on the fly in your script, even with different name. Just indicate it correctly:

# path to GRASS settings file
export GISRC=$HOME/.grassrc6

Now you can test:

# this should print the GRASS version used:
g.version
# other calculations go here ...

You should cleanup internal tmp files like this:

# run GRASS' cleanup routine
$GISBASE/etc/clean_temp

# remove session tmp directory:
rm -rf /tmp/grass6-$USER-$GIS_LOCK

If this works, you can launch other GRASS commands. The approach works within Shell scripts and also in the command line terminal.

=== Example ===

* GRASS shell script job to generate a [http://grass.osgeo.org/spearfish/php_grass_earthquakes.php Recent Earthquakes Map]
: ({{website|spearfish/grass_earthquakes.sh|grass_earthquakes.sh shell script}})

=== Parallel GRASS jobs ===

See [[Parallel GRASS jobs]] for openMosix, PBS etc.

=== GRASS Batch jobs ===

There is (now) an alternative method to easily run jobs in GRASS from a collection of commands in a shell script file. Just define the environmental variable GRASS_BATCH_JOB with the shell script file containing GRASS (or whatever) commands, preferably with full patch. Then launch GRASS and it will be executed. Best is to launch GRASS in -text mode and to provide GISDBASE/location/mapset as parameters. The job scripts needs executable file permissions (chmod).

Example:

chmod u+x $HOME/my_grassjob.sh
export GRASS_BATCH_JOB=$HOME/my_grassjob.sh
grass64 ~/grassdata/spearfish60/neteler/

The grass64 command starts GRASS, executes the contents of the job file and leaves GRASS. Since the normal startup/closure is used, all tmp files are properly removed.

Note: The $HOME variable (or the ~ shortcut) cannot be used in the batch job since the variables are not available here.

To deactivate the batch job mode, run (bash example):

unset GRASS_BATCH_JOB

Along with the "nohup" command you can login to your machine, launch the job and leave the machine again.
The process will continue after you logged off when you start it with nohup:
nohup grass64 ~/grassdata/spearfish60/neteler/ &

=== Receive a notification when finished ===

Maybe put email notification at the end of 'my_grassjob.sh' using the "mail" or the "mutt" program, for example like this:

echo "Finished at `date`" > /tmp/done.txt && \
EDITOR=touch mutt -s "Job done" \
me@mydomain.org < /tmp/done.txt && rm -f /tmp/done.txt

or like this:
mail -s "GRASS job $0 finished" me@mydomain.org <<EOF
GRASS GIS has finished the batch job $0
EOF

==== v.digatt ====

[http://phygeo7.geo.uni-augsburg.de/gis2/scripts/v.digatt v.digatt] (shell script) Interactively assign numeric table attributes to series of vector objects. It is meant to be effective by avoiding to type in the attribute value for all single objects again and again. The user is prompted for typing in an attribute value which is assigned to all objects selected by mouseclick afterwards. Next the display is redrawn after updating the table column. Zooming allows to change the region before the old value can be reused or a new one can be typed in (or copied by mouse from another object) in order to assign it to the next series of objects etc. It is tested not very extensively yet. Therefore better work with a copy of your map and consider using v.digit or d.what.vect -e alternatively. [http://phygeo7.geo.uni-augsburg.de/gis2/scripts/v.digatt.png screenshot].

This will cleanly travel around hard barriers and a cost surface map may be used to model expensive-cross barriers.

==== r.tileset ====

[http://www.shockfamily.net/cedric/grass/r.tileset r.tileset] generates a list of tiles and sizes in a source projection that cover the region in the current database with appropriate resolution. The size of individual tiles can be constrained. Only tiles intersecting the current region are returned. These tilings are appropriate for requesting data from another projection to meet the specifications of the current region. For example, it could be used to generate tile requests to a latitude / longitude WMS server like this <code>r.tileset -w sourceproj="+init=epsg:4326"</code>.

==== r.traveltime ====

[http://jesbergwetter.twoday.net/stories/4845555/ r.traveltime] computes the travel time of surface runoff to an outlet. The program starts at the basin outlet and calculates the travel time at each raster cell recursively. A drainage area related threhold considers even surface and also channel runoff. Travel times are derived by assuming kinematic wave approximation. The results can be used to derive a time-area function. This might be usefull for precipitation-runoff calculations (estimation of flood predictions) with a lumped hydrologic model (user-specified unit hydrograph).

By running i.rectify directly to the new target projection, a generation of resampling data loss can be avoided (versus i.rectify + r.proj). On the other hand, i.rectify does not calculate cell resolution well if the map is to be rotated ([http://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=3296 bug #3296]), in those cases i.rectify+r.proj may be the better option.

==== v.digatt ====

[http://phygeo7.geo.uni-augsburg.de/gis2/scripts/v.digatt v.digatt] (shell script) Interactively assign numeric table attributes to series of vector objects. It is meant to be effective by avoiding to type in the attribute value for all single objects again and again. The user is prompted for typing in an attribute value which is assigned to all objects selected by mouseclick afterwards. Next the display is redrawn after updating the table column. Zooming allows to change the region before the old value can be reused or a new one can be typed in (or copied by mouse from another object) in order to assign it to the next series of objects etc. It is tested not very extensively yet. Therefore better work with a copy of your map and consider using v.digit or d.what.vect -e alternatively. [http://phygeo7.geo.uni-augsburg.de/gis2/scripts/v.digatt.png screenshot].

:* r.uslek creates USLE K factor (soil erodibility) from sand, clay, silt fractions and organic matter fraction. Based on USDA 1951 (p209) quoted in FAO World Soil CD, and from some generic [soil class+OM] to K conversion table.

[http://bambi.otago.ac.nz/hamish/grass/i.points.reproj i.points.reproj] is a shell script that will use cs2cs to reproject the target coordinates of a group's POINTS file. By running i.rectify directly to the new target projection, a generation of resampling data loss can be avoided (versus i.rectify + r.proj). On the other hand, i.rectify does not calculate cell resolution well if the map is to be rotated ([http://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=3296 bug #3296]), in those cases i.rectify+r.proj may be the better option.

It is meant to be effective by avoiding to type in the attribute value for all single objects again and again. The user is prompted for typing in an attribute value which is assigned to all objects selected by mouseclick afterwards. Next the display is redrawn after updating the table column. Zooming allows to change the region before the old value can be reused or a new one can be typed in (or copied by mouse from another object) in order to assign it to the next series of objects etc. It is tested not very extensively yet. Therefore better work with a copy of your map and consider using v.digit or d.what.vect -e alternatively. [http://phygeo7.geo.uni-augsburg.de/gis2/scripts/v.digatt.png screenshot].
