We use tcsh (that I got from vgr.brl.mil) as our standard shell. With the arrival of 3.3 we would like to take advantage of the new Berkley limits commands. The problem is that these are `builtin' to the shells and ofcourse they are not in tcsh. Since tcsh is distributed as a set patches to the 4.3 csh sources which have the limit code, then I assume that who ever ported it to the SGI removed it. Could we have it back please? We have a messy work around at the moment, we wrote a small C program which sets the limits with the rlimits system call and then execs tcsh. Cheers, Russell. --

I received this reply: ->From: christos@theory.TN.CORNELL.edu ->Organization: Electrical Engineering, Cornell University, Ithaca NY ->Status: RO -> ->Get the binary from tesla.ee.cornell.edu! The binary there is made ->by someone at silicon graphics... -> Thanks very much Christos. I have retrieved this version but unfortunately it does not support the /etc/cshrc file, which we need to set the hard limits in the first place. Does anybody know who at SG built this version so I can ask them to recompile it with the option to enable the global cshrc file? Thanks, Russell.
