preexec function in tcsh

2005-08-25 Thread Dan Mahoney, System Admin
Hey all, I'm reading here that a certain version of tcsh (starting with 6.09) has support for a preexec function. I'm not seeing this in the source or manpage. Is there any way to upgrade the tcsh version in FreeBSD? -Dan -- Station! -Bill Ted's Bogus Journey Dan
