Problem accessing csh ?? (Newbie)
Hi All,

Just recently started using a program in Unix for a client. I was sent a script to use but for some reason it's not working. The person who created the script first suggested I may need to edit the first line of the script so that it has the correct path for the csh file: #!/bin/csh -f

I checked that the csh file is in /bin and it is, but it's listed as: csh -> tcsh*
What does that mean?

When I run the script I get this message:
'nknown option: `-
Usage: csh [ -bcdefilmnqstvVxX ] [ argument ... ].

I'm new to Unix & would appreciate any help-
Thanks in advance!

tcsh is an enhanced but completely compatible version of the Berkeley UNIX C shell, csh(1).
and csh just link at tcsh.
you can use both.

-f means what shell ignores ~/.tcshrc, and thus starts faster.

read
$ man tcsh
for more information

Hi,
It looks like the csh version that you are using on the current machine doesn't support the "-f" switch and hence you get the above error...

Best Regards,
brendon.

Hi
Sorry for my last post ...coz it looks like the csh you are using supports "-f" switch.

It looks to me that your script is corrupted (might be with control-M characters while copying from windows to unix).Please run dos2unix on the script and then try running it.

Also use appropriate FTP mode (binary mode) while transfering your files from windows to unix if at all you are transferring.

Cheers,
Anand.
