#1707: g.manual does not run html browser in background
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: annakrat | Owner: grass-dev@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.4.3
Component: Default | Version: unspecified
Keywords: g.manual | Platform: Unspecified
Cpu: Unspecified |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
In grass 6 g.manual doesn't launch html browser in the background so it is
blocking the gui (or command line). In grass 7 it doesn't block anything.
In grass 7, python script calls os.execlp. In grass 6, bash script is
used. If I add '&' at the end of the command (in
scripts/g.manual/g.manual, line 91) like this:
{{{
"$GRASS_HTML_BROWSER" file://"$DOC_BASE/$1.html" &
}}}
it works for me (using Ubuntu). I guess this not solution for all
platforms?
