I have an extraordinary problem with a csh script.....(feel free to berate the use of this but I'm modifying an existing bunch of them)
Anyway, I have a master csh script which in turn calls a second csh script. This second csh script is below. Within this second script are two compiled C++ programs that are called to perform two different tasks.
The problem is that only part of the script is being executed. The 'foreach' loop is completed without fail and does exactly what it is supposed too - calls the NCAT_2_MCdose C++ function (which is an image deformation type program). This tells me that the parent script is calling the second script correctly. However, when it attempts to execute the next line of
it fails. This function has execution permission and the path is correct. Now for the truly strange part. When I run the second script with these two C++ functions in it from the command line it executes perfectly. However, executing it from the parent (first script) only performs the foreach loop and the second program isn't even called (I can't even get any stout or sterr output to be written using the 1> and 2> redirection options.
Is there any suggestions to resolve this? I've spent 2 straight days on this and have finally conceded that I don't know enough and would really appreciate a fresh outlook on this.
Edit: I should add, this second function takes 5 files (with naming convention ${ANG}_ph1to1_mapped.3ddose) and adds them together, each with a weighting of 0.2 with the result being output in the ${ANG}_total_mapped.3ddose. Again, this command works flawlessly when used separately on the command line, or by running this script independently from the parent program.

After I compile a C program, when I run it from a C shell script, it does not print out the results.
e.g:
myCFile.c: main(){printf("Hey");}
myCshScript: myCFile
This does not output "Hey" to the terminal window. I am not even sure if it is executed or not.

Ok I asked something similar earlier with no response, so maybe I didn't word it correctly. I'm new at this, so thank you for your help.

Hello all. I suspect this will be a simple case for an experienced csh scripter, but google is getting me nowhere on this one.

return
exit(1) User Commands exit(1)NAME
exit, return, goto - shell built-in functions to enable the execution of the shell to advance beyond its sequence of steps
SYNOPSIS
sh
exit [n]
return [n]
csh
exit [ ( expr )]
goto label
ksh
*exit [n]
*return [n]
DESCRIPTION
sh
exit will cause the calling shell or shell script to exit with the exit status specified by n. If n is omitted the exit status is that of
the last command executed (an EOF will also cause the shell to exit.)
return causes a function to exit with the return value specified by n. If n is omitted, the return status is that of the last command exe-
cuted.
csh
exit will cause the calling shell or shell script to exit, either with the value of the status variable or with the value specified by the
expression expr.
The goto built-in uses a specified label as a search string amongst commands. The shell rewinds its input as much as possible and searches
for a line of the form label: possibly preceded by space or tab characters. Execution continues after the indicated line. It is an error to
jump to a label that occurs between a while or for built-in command and its corresponding end.
ksh
exit will cause the calling shell or shell script to exit with the exit status specified by n. The value will be the least significant 8
bits of the specified status. If n is omitted then the exit status is that of the last command executed. When exit occurs when executing
a trap, the last command refers to the command that executed before the trap was invoked. An end-of-file will also cause the shell to exit
except for a shell which has the ignoreeof option (See set below) turned on.
return causes a shell function or '.' script to return to the invoking script with the return status specified by n. The value will be the
least significant 8 bits of the specified status. If n is omitted then the return status is that of the last command executed. If return
is invoked while not in a function or a '.' script, then it is the same as an exit.
On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:
1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.
2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.
3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.
4. Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari-
able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation are not
performed.
