I had the same trouble and worked around it by using a csh-script which is loaded in .suntools: .suntools: shelltool -Wi -WL STARTUP -C sunstart This sunstart-script does an additional job in finding out the right screensize and then sources the start commands for the tools to be displayed: #! /bin/csh # # start up of suntool environment, allowing use of csh-features # don't forget to use background processes! # if (`eeprom -i scrsize` =~ "scrsize=1600x1280") then source ${HOME}/.suntools-large else source ${HOME}/.suntools-small endif # echo 'This process will end in 30 seconds' sleep 30 # An additional feature is the use of environment variables in the start commands. Pay attention that you have to background all processes with &. romeo (Peter Wetzel), (UUCP) ...unido!iaoobel!wetzel Fraunhofer Institute IAO, Stuttgart
