Full Discussion: rcp error
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users rcp error Post 53041 by Perderabo on Friday 2nd of July 2004 12:36:27 PM

Yeah that's what causing it. .cshrc is run for every shell, interactive or not. And rcp need to launch a shell. Setting a prompt in a non-interactive shell does not make sense. And referencing LOGNAME isn't going to fly since login was not run. Setting up a non-existent controlling terminal isn't going to help either.

Wiping up that mess will take a csh expert and I'm not one. My suggestion is to switch to ksh. In the meantime, you won't be able to use rcp with that disfunctional account. Switch to ftp or something.
