Ugh; v.random should have a seed= option (or something) to allow repeatability. Or at least an option to disable seeding with the PID. For comparison, r.mapcalc's rand() is seeded from the GRASS_RND_SEED environment variable. If that isn't set, it isn't explicitly seeded (i.e. the default seed is used). If you want different results for each run, you need to explicitly change GRASS_RND_SEED each time. -- Glynn Clements <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
