Eureka! #!/bin/tcsh does the trick! However, now that csh is reading the script:
#!/bin/tcsh set d = `date` echo "Today's date: $d[2-3] $d[6]" echo "Current time: $d[4]" echo Number of users: `who | wc -l` echo Current disk storage: ` du -s ~` I have encountered another problem. Here is the response: Today's date: Apr 8 2004 Current time: 12:30:44 Number of users: 0 The last line of my script must not have been executed! How could this be?! BTW, I realize that some of my questions may be more about scripting instead of cygwin. Can anyone recommend any good forums for shell scripting? I'm especially interested in forums for beginners. -Chris ===== "I'm the last person to pretend that I'm a radio.
