Hi,
Try this instead:
if ( $user == user1 ) then
echo hello user1
else if ( $user == user2 ) then
echo hello user2
endif
You could also do it with a switch:
switch ( $user )
case user1:
echo hello user1
breaksw
case user2:
echo hello user2
breaksw
endsw
$user is a shell built-in variable that holds the user's login name.
If you have a lot of users you might want to do it via some username-message
mapping mechanism instead of coding a whole bunch of if or case statements. A
simple method might be to have a directory under /etc called, say, "usermsg"
and then a file for each user. Then in your csh.login you'd do something like:
if ( -r /etc/usermsg/$user ) then
cat /etc/usermsg/$user
endif
cheers
