I'm not sure that this is a good idea; if you want wxgrass to run in
the background, you can use "wxgrass &".

If this remains, stdout and stderr should be redirected (e.g. to
/dev/null), so that they don't create mess on the terminal (or suspend
wxgrass if output from a background process results in SIGTTOU).

I just copied the format in the current gis.m script. Without this, it is
running modally. How would you recommend changing it?

Just remove the "&"s. If you want it to run in the background, type
"wxgrass &".

Note that GUI applications typically don't put themselves into the
background automatically. If you want them to run in the background,
you have to add the "&" yourself.

Sometimes you might want to wait for termination, e.g. to perform
clean-up. Having an application auto-background makes it impossible to
reliably detect termination.
