First off, please use the man pages - they aren't as easy to move around in as VMS help pages, but still have plenty of info (ex-VAX/VMS system manager too).

Make sure you are using #!/bin/csh versus #/bin/csh (which is what you posted).


csh -f This is to do a fast start - it is suppose to read neither the .cshrc file, nor the .login file (if a login shell) upon startup. So this SHOULD work for you.

In the man page for csh you should find the following:
prompt The string an interactive C shell prompts with. Noninteractive shells leave the prompt variable unset. Aliases and other commands in the .cshrc file that are only useful interactively, can be placed after the following test
`if ($?prompt == 0) exit` to reduce startup time for noninteractive shells.

Read the man page csh for more info. Then post back any questions.
