UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I have several questions here, would like to confirm with. First why in Linux everytime let say i boot up around nearly to a month i got a message during the Services Loading such as "FSCK havent run for 29 days performing fsck ".

Is there to disable it? Why beacause i want to run it mannualy, much comfortable for me on mannual way. Any ideas.

My Second question is, Now im running Linux 7.2. My shell is Bash. I would like to set my shell to CSH (C Shell). My Question is will there be any system corrupt or massive changes on current system customisation look ? WIll all my things gone after i change the shell ? How to set from Bash to Csh ?

Quite new to the Unix world hope any one can give me some details , some instructions or info..

Thank you.

i dont think there is linux 7.2, i think you mean version 7.2 of your distro. please provide what distrobution you are using. i wouldnt recommed disabling fsck, it makes things alot easier, see the man pages for fsck. im not really sure how to disable it on startup, if i were you i would start looking at rc.config, just go to /etc and search through your config files, use grep. changing your shell wont harm your filesystem, but your bash shell customization will be, because you will be using a different shell, i dont think csh sets the prompt with PS1 and all that, so youll havfe to read about the c shell to see how to do it, i dont know everything so i might be wrong about some of the thigns im saying, but i hope it helps a little at least. if your using SUSE linux you have an easy way out, type YAST at the prompt and you will find everything you need there.

norsk,
Thanx for trying. Appreciate.

Anyone have any idea on this matter. Im using Red Hat 7.2. Any help on both questions matter ?
