[net.unix-wizards] sh/csh why the difference

barto@celerity.UUCP (David Barto) (01/24/85)

Should be net.HELP!!!!

If I do the command
	ci filename &
then the differences are noted as follows:
	/bin/sh
		there is no isatty(fileno(stdin)) so the program
		behaves nicely, it inserts no message into the logfile
	/bin/csh
		the program will signal the shell and the shell will
		say "stopped (tty input)".
		This would occur in sh.proc.c on or about line 590.

		we are doing a "switch (status)"
		and status has come up one of
			INTERRUPTED, STOPPED, or (ta-da) SIGNALED.
		
		How do you suppose I get the csh to look (and act
		in this case) like the plain sh?

	In other words -- what am I missing!!!!

	Thanks for the help as they say--
