Output all commands to logfiles ???

Dear Forum,

My .cshrc settings are embedded in a massive jungle of code distributed all over the place, where finding anything is a "needle in a haystack" daily pain in the royal backside.

Is there anyway, i can dump out every command and file executed to STDOUT after sourcing my .cshrc ???

This would genuinely improve my quality of life !

Thanks,

FMA

At the very beginning of your .cshrc file, you can put this line
Code:
set echo=true

As mentioned by the csh man page:

Built-in commands are echoed before command and file name substitution, since these substitutions are then done selectively. For non-built-in commands, all expansions occur before echoing.
