unwanted text before shell prompt

2008-06-23 Thread Noah

Hi there,

I just upgraded my FreeBSD box and now I am find that the is an almost 
blank line above my shell prompt that contains a % (without the 
quotes) about 20 columns in.  What would be the places that this line 
could be defined?


Cheers,

noah

Check your prompts, which depends on the shell you are using.

Which shell are you using?  Have you customized its startup files in any
way?  What did those customizations change?

You appear to be using a c-shell (tcsh most likely). Check the prompt setting 
in ~/.cshrc.
