1.
The tcsh manual states:
onintr is ignored if the shell is running detached and in system
startup files (see FILES), where interrupts are disabled anyway.
But:
>grep onintr /etc/csh.cshrc
onintr -
onintr
Is the manual incorrect or is the initialization file conceptually flawed?
2.
The tcsh manual also states:
-f The shell ignores ~/.tcshrc, and thus starts faster.
But -f also causes the shell to ignore /etc/csh.* and .login. Is the
specification or the implementation at fault?
3.
On a Pentium I-level computer, tcsh takes an aggravatingly long time to
process the initialization files. I found that commenting out the lines
that call
source /etc/profile.d/complete.tcsh
in /etc/csh.cshrc (or deleting the file /etc/profile.d/complete.tcsh) sped
up this process dramatically.
Cheers
Michael
