I use 'su' to access an account that runs csh. I want the '.logout' file to
be executed (sourced) when I end the shell. So, I tried this in '.cshrc':
set ignoreeof
alias exit 'source ~/.logout; \exit'
It forces me to use exit to exit. Typing exit sources ~/.logout, but then says
"exit: command not found."
I read TFM pretty carefully, but all I've come up with is:
set ignoreeof
alias exit 'source ~/.logout; kill -9 $$'
which is pretty brutal. Any better ideas? This is on a Gould NP-1 running
UTX/32 (BSD4.3-like). Thanks.

alias exit 'source ~/.logout; unalias exit; eval \exit'
...or just use `su -' to obtain a full login shell.

I replied to the author, but it occurred to me that this is a useful trick that people might not know. The above doesn't work, because quoting avoids builtins as well as aliases, so it tries to look for a non-builtin command called exit, which it doesn't find. However alias exit "source ~/.logout ; ''exit" does work, it avoids aliases but will still catch builtins. This is useful if someone nasty manages to alias your alias and unalias commands for you (with alias \unalias ... alias \alias ... csh won't normally let you alias alias). You just do ''unalias alias unalias unalias Rob -- UUCP: ...!mcvax!ukc!warwick!cudcv PHONE: +44 203 523037 JANET: cudcv@uk.ac.warwick ARPA: cudcv@warwick.ac.uk Rob McMahon, Computing Services, Warwick University, Coventry CV4 7AL, England
