It's scripts like that that made my login situation on the CAD machine hateful. My default login shell is zsh 3. I then exec tcsh, and load some scripts to set environment variables. Then, I exec zsh 4, built in my homedir because my sysadmin is, er, lazy. And then, only then, can I actually start doing things. At least it's partially hate of my own generation. But still. Ugh. p.s. Yes, I know it'd be better to have tcsh as my logic shell, but I can't actually *change* it - only admins can do that, because we have some hateful homebrewed distribution system for shells and passwords. -- <> :#,_@ v <^ " Michael Leuchtenburg | http://slashhome.org/ " +73 ^ " cell: 413.433.0739 " +7<There's stuff above here
