Question Options for csh shell
Hello,

It's possible to change/put some options of the C-shell, like bold-text, date, etc?

I can't found a web site that have a explanation.

Thanks.

Witt,

I want to change the prompt colors or change the fonts to bold, just as we can do with BASH in Linux.

Thanks

I'm not sure, but i think that csh is the same as tcsh in freebsd, in such case, try man tcsh, you'll find some useful information regarding this problem there. If you're running linux, csh is a symlink to bash. I this case you have to customize bash.

Huh? What Linux variant are you using?
Bash is a superset of sh - csh is typically linked to tcsh on every Linux system I've ever used...

Code:
$ cd /bin; ls -li *sh|sort
 652806 lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root            4 Apr  5  2001 sh -> bash*
 652807 -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin        477692 Mar 21  2000 bash*
 652860 -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin        306453 Apr  7  2000 tcsh*
 652861 lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root            4 Apr  5  2001 csh -> tcsh*
 652879 -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin         59628 Aug  3  1999 ash*
 652882 -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin        338536 Jun 14  2000 zsh*
 653126 -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root           30 Oct  4  2001 rbash*
$ uname
