You can use any shell you want, as long as it's listed in the /etc/shells file. Traditionally, academia seems to use the csh (C-shell) or its updated modern variant, tcsh. However, this is probably through inertia rather than anything else and having a knowledge of the sh family of shells, in particular the bash shell is probably more widely useful: much of the internals of Linux/*nix systems is based on portable sh-type scripts.

The more complicated answer: many people need to write shell scripts which will be portable across many systems. That is why POSIX specifies the shell and utility commands in great detail. Most scripts are written in Bourne shell, and because several important programming interfaces ( make(1), system(3), popen(3), and analogues in higher-level scripting languages like Perl and Tcl) are specified to use the Bourne shell to interpret commands.

There's a fairly simple way to do this, but there is no official way to do this for a variety of reasons. The solution is to add these lines to the end of your .login file: if ( $SHELL == "/bin/csh" ) then foreach i ($path) if ( -x $i/tcsh ) then setenv SHELL $i/tcsh set shell=$i/tcsh exec $i/tcsh -l endif end endif If you really need tcsh to be the login shell, then you should start it with the -l flag as it is done above.

You need a telnet program to access the shell (like Better Telnet). To transfer files back and forth, use FTP, and ftp to the same address you telnet to. To run irc, try typing 'irc' and see if a p rogram loads. If not, you'll need to either get a binary for your system (precompiled program) or get the source and compile it yourself. To find out what kind of system your shell is on type 'uname -a' on your shell, you'll get some feedback like this: This shows you the name of the machine 'nowhere.

Fossil Shell Dust® is applied by sprinkling the dust onto any surface that may contain mites, including carpets, wall cracks and crevices. A pesticide duster may be used for application of this product even though it is not a pesticide. Be careful not to inhale the dust.

Heinz Peter Hippenstiel) Add the following lines to .inputrc in your Cygwin home directory (e.g. /home/harold/): set meta-flag on set output-meta on # to show 8-bit characters set convert-meta off # to show it as character, not the octal representation # Mapping for German umlauts "\M-a": "?"

OpenSSH 3.8 enables untrusted X11 forwarding by default when connecting to an ssh server that supports untrusted X11Forwarding. Most ssh servers for GNU/Linux are versions of OpenSSH that do support untrusted X11Forwarding, so using OpenSSH 3.8 from Cygwin will result in a connection that uses untrusted X11Forwarding by default.

Eterm DOES NOT read any shell profile/rc file for any shell. Ever. Never has, never will. Neither does any other terminal program. You are confused. When Eterm starts up, it is provided with the environment of its parent process, be it your window manager, your X startup file, your panel/launcher application, or whatever. Eterm, in turn, spawns a subprocess which inherits its environment from Eterm itself. This subprocess is usually a shell, but can be anything you specify with the -e option.

When the bash completion code was in beta testing the majority of users did not believe default completion on remote repositories was a good idea(mainly due to the number of remote repositories that are known by the users DForce configuration file). This will be changing in a future release as many users consider this usage to be non-intuitive.

Some Schemes all allow you to define Unix-style scripts containing Scheme code. SRFI-22 attempts to standardize the mechanism used for that.

No, generally speaking. But if you can contribute something useful as a volunteer that requires shell access to do it, please ask.

You need an ssh program. Windows users are recommended to use the Putty program available at: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/. Ask us if you need help configuring Putty. For Mac users and other unixens, check out links on http://www.openssh.com/. BSD and Linux users can directly use the ssh command. All those programs are completely free of charge. they also take very little space on the hard drive, less than 1MB.

There are very few significant assembly programs for either of these calculators which don't use any shell. If you do happen to find such a program, you can run it on the TI-83 by running the command "Send(9prgmNAME" from the home screen (or a Basic program). On the TI-83+, the command to use is "Asm(prgmNAME".

There are a variety of factors that can contribute to occasional slow download speeds or time-outs. One thing that you can rule out is lack of bandwidth directly into the facility where your site is located. If it seems that your site generally is always slow, it may be because you have images on your pages that are too large. A rule of thumb is to try to make images 20k or less. If you have larger images, try using image compression software which you can download free at www.download.com.

The inbound movement stands for getting to the crux of the matter. We start from business objectives, moving to marketing strategies, planning and implementation. The outbound movement represents the speed and leveraging power of our approach. We offer pragmatic and tangible solutions for every marketing challenge.

Yes. Consider the scenario where a shell script invokes a binary executable. The directory where the executable resides must be writable. In the VTune analyzer, specify the shell script as the application to launch and the executable (and not the shell script) as the module of interest.

We use cultures of harmless lactic acid bacteria. In Swiss cheese we also use cultures of harmless propionic acid bacteria, which gives the Swiss cheese its eyes and typical flavor.

To quote the README file: Secure Shell (SSH) is a program to log into another computer over a network, to execute commands in a remote machine, and to move files from one machine to another. It provides strong authentication and secure communications over unsecure channels. It is intended as a replacement for rlogin, rsh, and rcp. Additionally, SSH provides secure X connections and secure forwarding of arbitrary TCP connections.

The internal amplifier inside the AS-P6000 subwoofer was co-designed by BASH Audio, one of the world’s premier subwoofer amplifier companies. Together with our athena engineers, they have come up with a high powered 800 watt (200 watt RMS) amplifier platform that is efficient, great sounding, and reliable. This co-development is one of the reasons we can offer the AS-P6000 at it’s low retail price.

BASH® is a patented technology that mates a tracking power supply to a Class AB output stage to deliver efficiency that is comparable to Class D

Yes, you will find the one Shmuel Pietrokovski wrote in the ftp archive ftp.ncifcrf.gov in pub/delila/logoaid. (Also available in bioinformatics.weizmann.ac.il/pub/software/logoaid.)

The Mercurian must, typically, wait for the initial resonance "feed" to wear off (as per p. 104 of In Nomine) before making another roll, for a group or for a specific person. The GM may adjust this if the original subject leaves the room. (Or the GM may not.)

We recommend either salted or unsalted butter be used when making candy, especially candy made from a boiled sugar syrup. Margarine and low-fat spreads do not create the correct texture in the final candy because of the emulsifiers and other ingredients added to their formulas. Butter also gives the best flavor to candy.

First, this is a religious issue if there ever was one, for Unix users. The most popular shells (in no particular order) are the Bourne shell (sh), the Korn shell (ksh), the C shell (csh), the T shell tcsh. There are certainly are intelligent folks that use, and are proponents of, each shell out there. The Korn shell is available with nearly every Unix. It was written by David Korn of AT&T Bell Labs and has been provided with all System V-derived Unix systems since at least the late '80s.

One command you can use is a2ps by typing 'a2ps filename'. When using this command you also need to set your printer to one nearby. Look at the next faq item for more information on how to do that. If you want to print using a graphical interface you can use the command qtcups by typing 'qtcups filename'. Look at the manual pages for more information about these two print commands by typing 'man a2ps' or 'man qtcups' at a terminal prompt.
