[2] 1480 : bad interpreter: No such file or directoryin/csh
That error message is normally caused because the first line in the shell has a invalid path to the shell that should run it. For example if it's a csh script the first line of the script should be as follows: #!/bin/csh That should work for redhat 7.3.... You can also start the script by running the following command Csh ./startup And that will execute the script in csh from the commandline. Hope that helps some. I suggest getting a book on shell scripting. There are several good ones out there, the default startup script is written in csh, however I have replaced my startup scripts with perl variants that do some advanced features like compiling log files, compressing logfiles, rotating them at midnight and emailing them to me. Also it is capable of executing gdb batch scripts if the mud crashes and will gzip and collect core files as well. But its definitely not a script you want to work with unless your comfortable with the unix environment and perl.

Nevertheless it is still not starting. I have given all the information about this. I know your not obligated to answer but I implore you to show mercy and help. Should I give all users access to csh would that fix the problem? This permission thing is still a little new to me. Thanks.
