Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Need a script to convert csh to bash Post 302539656 by drl on Monday 18th of July 2011 10:27:33 AM

Hi.

Assuming you have bash installed:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
#
# cshtobash - convert csh aliases, environment variables, and variables to
#             bash equivalents
#
# usage: cshtobash [filename]
#
# If filename is given, that file is sourced.  Note that csh always
# sources .cshrc.  To recreate your csh login environment, run
# `cshtobash ~/.login'.
#
# Inspired by (and some borrowed from) a similar program distributed with
# zsh-3.0.
#
# Chet Ramey

...

excerpt from /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/misc/cshtobash

My system context:
Code:
OS, ker|rel, machine: Linux, 2.6.26-2-amd64, x86_64
Distribution        : Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.8 (lenny)

Chet's script might be a start for you.

Good luck ... cheers, drl

NAME
shells - shell database SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser- shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root. A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored. The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/ksh93, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh, /bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/ksh93, /usr/bin/pfcsh, /usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh, and /usr/sfw/bin/zsh. /etc/shells overrides the default list. Invalid shells in /etc/shells could cause unexpected behavior, such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1). FILES
