UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

I use a specific utility in my .cshrc for setting up the right fonts and I believe it's sufficient to run it once for a whole session.

Since I have sourced it in my .cshrc, it runs every time I do a source of .cshrc or invoke every new terminal.

To resolve this issue, I thought of setting a variable using setenv during the first run and avoid running the utility every time.

Can someone help me with the command I need to put in the .cshrc?

Thanks,
Old..

Code:

...
if [ -z "$FLAG" ]
then
  /run/your/utility
  setenv FLAG 1
fi
...

My c shell has gotten a tad weak of late so there might be some syntax issues there but you get the general idea
