    isogmt - Run GMT command or script in isolation mode

Synopsis
--------

**isogmt** *command*

Description
-----------

**isogmt** runs a single GMT command or shell script in **isolation
mode**. This means that the files *gmt.history* and *gmt.conf* will be
read from the usual locations (current directory, *~/.gmt*, or home
directory), but changes will only be written in a temporary directory,
which will be removed after execution. The name of the temporary
directory will be available to the command or script as the environment
variable GMT_TMPDIR.

Examples
--------

Run the shell script *script.gmt* in isolation mode

    isogmt sh script.gmt
