[GRASSGUI] why won't this execute in cmd.py?

[Michael Barton]

Martin,

Any idea why this won't execute in cmd.py?

cmdlst = ['d.mon','start=%s' % xmon, '&'] p =
cmd.Command(cmdlst)

Is the '&' supposed to be an argument? Shell syntax won't work if you
aren't using a shell.

If you want to run a command in the background, use Command(..., wait=False).
