There are two type of startup-files:
- user depending in home-dir of user (e.g. $HOME/.profile)
- system-wide (valid for all users) (e.g. /etc/profile)
user depending login-startup files (like .login, .profile) are stored in the users home directory.
Also user root has defined a home dir (usually /):
Code:
more /etc/passwd | grep root
root:x:0:1:Super-User:/:/sbin/sh
--> in this case the home-dir of root is /
In which login-startup file you add the setting of the environment variable is very much depending on the login shell your user is using.
In the above example, root is using /sbin/sh as login shell.
For the bourne-shell (sh) the correct login-startup file is /.profile if only user root should use this file for startup or /etc/profile if all users should use this startup file.

Hey all,
I've only just started using UNIX coding on my Masters project, so am still learning!! The script I've been writing is literally just for me to get used to writing it and seeing what I can do with some data I've been given.
I'm trying to write a script, where the penultimate line... (2 Replies)

I am using this code
echo "opt_tpath = $opt_tpath"
if ($opt_tpath == 1) echo " -tpath = $Atpath\n"
and is giving
opt_tpath = 0
Atpath: Undefined variable.
Atpath should only be printed in opt_tpath == 1 but it still tries to print.

Hi folks
There are about 200 csh scripts (I didn't wrote them). Do all those scripts run with tcsh without modification? Is tcsh 100% compatible with the plain-old csh?
$ which csh
/usr/bin/csh
$ which tcsh
/usr/bin/tcsh
$ uname -a

I have a simple csh-script on a Solaris Workstaion which invokes the bc calculator:
#!/bin/csh
set shz=2
set zshift=5
set shzp=`bc -l <<END \
scale = 3 \
-1. * $shz + $zshift \
END`
echo $shzp
The result ($shzp) in this case is 3 (-1*2+5). It works fine on Solaris 8.
