UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hello,

When signing into my UNIX account I have to manually source my .cshrc_local

Is there a way to have my ID source that .cshrc automatically when I first sign in?

Thanks for any help

cshell automatically reads any file in your login directory with these exact names:

.cshrc read at every invocation of the shell, ie., process creation, login ,etc.

.login read after .cshrc & only in a login shell - i.e., read only one time

.logout read only when you logout

So you could:
A. rename your .cshrc_local to .cshrc -- if a .cshrc does not already exist

or

B. append your .cshrc_local file to the .cshrc already there
