I'm having trouble using the tcsh shell. Specifically, the
shell init files have been giving me errors. I tried playing
around with them, but haven't had much luck. I'm used to these
files being in csh syntax, but the ones in the Mandrake
installation seem to be in bash format, and that seems to be a
part of my confusion.
To be more specific, I am currently getting these errors on
login which come from my /etc/csh.login file:
id: Command not found.
id: Command not found.
id: Command not found.
[: Command not found.
test: Command not found.
This is the /etc/csh.cshrc file:
# /etc/cshrc
#
# csh configuration for all shell invocations. Currently, a prompt.
[ "`id -u`" = "0" ] && limit coredumpsize 1000
if ($?prompt) then
if ($?tcsh) then
set prompt='%n:%~ \!> '
else
set prompt=\[`id -nu`@`hostname -s`\]\$\
endif
endif
if (! $?LOGIN_READ) then
source /etc/csh.login
endif
-----------------------
This is the /etc/csh.login file:
# /etc/csh.login
# System wide environment and startup programs for csh users
setenv LOGIN_READ 1
if ($?PATH) then
setenv PATH "${PATH}:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin"
else
setenv PATH "/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin"
endif
# this line was also producing an error:
#limit coredumpsize 0
[ `id -gn` = `id -un` -a `id -u` -gt 14 ]
if $status then
umask 022
else
umask 002
endif
setenv HOSTNAME `/bin/hostname`
set history=500
test -d /etc/profile.d
if ($status == 0) then
set nonomatch
foreach i ( /etc/profile.d/*.csh )
test -f $i
if ($status == 0) then
source $i
endif
end
unset i nonomatch
endif
------------------------
You'll notice I had to put code in at the end of csh.cshrc to
get csh.login read because in the original configuration it
was being ignored, while what I've read about the login process
led me to believe that it was supposed to be read by default.
