Shouldn't the lines in /usr/athena/lib/init/cshrc that currently read:
if ($?prompt) then # For interactive shells only (i.e., NOT rsh):
stty dec # Use DEC-style control characters
set prompt = "athena% " # Set prompt
set history = 20 # Number of commands saved as history
set cdpath = (~) # Path to search for directory changes
set interactive # Provide shell variable for compatability
endif
be instead:
if (! $?prompt) then # For interactive shells only (i.e., NOT rsh):
stty dec # Use DEC-style control characters
set prompt = "athena% " # Set prompt
set history = 20 # Number of commands saved as history
set cdpath = (~) # Path to search for directory changes
set interactive # Provide shell variable for compatability
endif
I find that if I set my prompt in ~/.environment, the global cshrc clobbers
it back to 'athena% '.
