Re: roots shell == /bin/sh please
Is the /bin/sh in freebsd more buggy than, say, the solaris /bin/sh? If so, thats's probably why it's currently /bin/csh. I doubt it; Solaris /bin/sh is likely more buggy. *GASP* Tell me about it !

Speaking of csh and tcsh, I noticed that /bin/csh is hard linked to /bin/tcsh, yet when I invoke tcsh, I get a different prompt than when I invoke csh. I find this rather odd.

I find this rather odd. When invoked as tcsh, the shell behaves like tcsh. This is a common technique (check out ex, nex, nvi, nview, vi, and view, for examples; all are hard links to the same file). The program checks its argv[0] and behaves differently depending on what it is set to. -brian -- Brian O'Shea [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

This is documented behaviour. When argv[0] is csh, it tries very hard to behave exactly the same as a traditional /bin/csh. -- || David Nugent || TS Manager, ISP Limited || \\ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] // .\\ Ph: +61396422322 Fax: +61396422063 Cell: +61404867638 //.
