I have downloaded the tcsh binaries from the archive site, and installed
it on a 4D/240S, 4D/260S, 4D/280S, and a Personal IRIS.
It works GREAT on the three servers. On the PI, a number of things happen:
1. when root logs on, the console (as an icon) shows up, then the
toolchests appear, then the console simply disapears!!!
I also had the night program running in the background (started
from the .csrhc). With tcsh, it did not even start!!!!
But I can go to the toolchest and start a wsh.
2. Loging in as a user, the same thing happens, AND I can't start
a wsh at all!!! In other words, it's useless!!!!
If I go back to the password file and change the login shell back to
/bin/csh, everything is back to normal....
Did that happen to anyone else????
Any suggestions????
Thank you for your help,

When we had problems, wsh was complaining (in the SYSLOG file) that it could not find the command tcsh. (We had the binary in /usr/local/bin/) The command ln -s /usr/local/bin/tcsh /bin/tcsh seemed to solve the problem. (/usr/local/bin/ is on a different disk with a lot more free space, which is one reason why we did not simply move the binary to /bin/ ) Hope this helps.
