After modifying .cshrc file, ls: Command not found
I am using Redhat 4.1.2, tcsh shell

To add a program to my path, I added the following line to my .cshrc file:
Code:
set path = (/home/R/R-2.11.0/bin/ /home/R/R-2.11.0/library)

It worked, I am able to run the program I wanted. But the pathway above overwrote all other existing paths - so I can no longer open emacs, vi, xclock, or use commands I was previously able to implement like: ls or pwd

I get the error - ls: Command not found.

I messed up big time! Since I can't open emacs I don't how to edit the .cshrc file. How can I reverse all of this?

If your .tcshrc was not modified, then just close your session and login again. Smilie

Code:
set PATH = ($PATH home/R/R-2.11.0/bin/ /home/R/R-2.11.0/library)

Otherwise you can create a temp user with the default $PATH and use the newly created .tcshrc

In RHEL it's usually something like:
Code:
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:
