1:exit

NAME

      exit  - Exits the user from the current GRASS session.

SYNOPSIS

      exit

DESCRIPTION

      The  exit command ends the user's  current  GRASS  session

and returns the

      user to the directory in which he was working prior to en-

tering GRASS.

      When  the  user  exits GRASS, he is asked whether he wish-

es to save the

      files  and  data  stored under  his  current  mapset,  and

(if maps are

      present)  whether  the  user  wishes  to  selectively  re-

move map layers,

      before  exiting  the  system.   By default,  if  the  user

presses RETURN

      without  responding  to these questions, all maps  in  the

user's current

      mapset  are saved.  However, because such maps can consume

much storage

      space on the computer, the user should remove any unneeded

files before

      exiting.   (The  user  can  also remove  data  before  at-

tempting to exit

      GRASS using the g.remove command.)
 
      Before  typing  exit,  the  polite  user  should  remember

to release the

      graphics  display monitor (using the command d.mon -r) for

use by other

      GRASS users. Otherwise, the display device may  be  locked

for use by the

      user, even though the user has exited GRASS, until  anoth-

er user runs

      d.mon and unlocks this monitor for others' use.
 
      Each time the user  re-enters  GRASS,  the  variables  de-

scribed in g.gisenv

      are re-set. If the user wishes to change the mapset, loca-

tion, or data

      base on which he is working (i.e., those affected  by  any

GRASS programs

      running during the user's current GRASS session), the  us-

er must exit

      GRASS and then re-enter  GRASS  and  specify  a  different

mapset, location,

      and/or data base location on the GRASS start-up page. When

the user re-

      enters  GRASS,   these   variable  settings  (the  current

mapset, location,

      and data base) are set by default to those used in the us-

er's previous

      GRASS session, unless changed by the user.

NOTES

      This  program requires no command line arguments; the user

simply types

      exit on the command line to exit GRASS.
