Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting alternate to set -x in csh scripts Post 302245883 by otheus on Saturday 11th of October 2008 12:52:54 PM

According to here you can do "set printexitvalue" in tcsh. Every time a function or command returns, tcsh will print the exit value for you. It's not exactly set -x, but it would aid in debugging. TCSH is a freely installable version of csh.

Caveat emptor: I don't use tcsh.
