Does someone know of a way to read commands into a history list
under csh? I have some commands that I would like read in at
login time.

Try: source -h file
It's documented for 4.1BSD csh. It does not work on HP-UX (why?).bd@hpsemc.HP.COM (bob desinger) (03/02/88)

Most C-shells I have used (mostly on SysV) do not support this, however. -=] Ford [=- "Well, he didn't know what to do, so (In Real Life: Mike Ditto) he decided to look at the government, ford%kenobi@crash.CTS.COM to see what they did, and scale it ...!sdcsvax!crash!kenobi!ford down and run his life that way." -- Laurie Anderson

Create a file say .preload with the history commands you want to preload. Add the following command to your .login file "mv .preload .history". Voila. You have whatever commands you need at login. The question is can you create a history list which does not change. It would be useful to have a set list of history commands to chose from. Yes you can alias these commands but it's not the same thing. -- A.I. - is a three toed sloth! | ...!uunet!mnetor!maccs!dan -- Official scrabble players dictionary -- | dan@mcmaster.BITNET

Strangely enough does 'history -h' work in HP-UX even though it is not documented! So I thought that 'source -h' should work too and I even mentioned that in one of my bug reports, hoping that HP, in their ambition to please their customers ( ;-> ), would implement 'source -h'. Another possible way to add to the history buffer would be to update the $HOME/.history file at login time. I usually play around with that file to remove duplicate commands (an idea I got from an article in "HP Communicator"). BTW, there are a few other undocumented commands available in HP-UX 'csh'. One is 'bye' which seems to work the same way as 'logout'/'exit'. -- >>> Bo Thide', Swedish Institute of Space Physics, S-755 90 Uppsala, Sweden <<< Phone (+46) 18-300020. Telex: 76036 (IRFUPP S).
