Hello. I had requested your suggestions/comments on the need for a shell script debugger earlier in this newsgroup. I didn't receive much of response (only TWO). Maybe it was because I didn't give my e-mail address. This time I have and I still would like to hear from you on the need for a shell script debugger. I have a question on Cshell. The set command in csh has been giving me some problems. When I use "set -x" or "set -v" or any other option, I get back a message "set: syntax error". When I do "echo $?" it says,"Variable syntax". I don't understand what this means. The set command works fine for "set verbose" and "set echo". Is this a feature of cshell that these flags will have to be given right at the beginning itself? Or, am I missing something? I would like to be able to set it "on" and "off" anytime. Do you have any suggestions for me? The set command with the flags is supported by ksh and sh. Please e-mail your responses to me directly. Srini. ------ UUCP: ...!uunet!ndsuvax!ncsrini BITNET: ncsrini@ndsuvax.bitnet ARPA,CSNET : ncsrini%ndsuvax.bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu
