[net.eunice] a couple of questions

custead (06/03/82)

1) It is clear how to execute UNIX commands from VMS, but how
do you execute VMS commands from inside EUNICE? (or do you?)

2) When we start up a csh it doesn't seem to find the login.csh
file of startup commands...the problem seems to be related to
the logical name HOME, what might we be doing wrong??

1) To run vms commands from csh, use the vms command.  Usage:
	vms 'dcl-command'
   It is usually best to put everything in single quotes so the DCL special
   characters won't be interpreted by csh.  Note you don't inherit
   your original process logical name table.

2) login.csh commands not being executed: check that the process logical name
   HOME is defined as a Unix style pathname.  If it is and things still aren't
   working right, you are probably not invoking csh as a login shell.  Check
   the bin:csh.com file and make sure you see something like
	$ c := $bin:csh -csh

Also check that the second to last argument on your /etc/passwd file
is pointing to the correct directory.
