- OK, I'm using xrsh and like it...
-
- (I set XRSH_ENVS_TO_PASS=LD_LIBRARY_PATH PATH so it can at least start an xterm...).
-
- What I want to do is:
-
- 1) open an xterm window
- 2) start a csh shell
- 3) source my .login file (I set everything up there, don't really care about my
- cshrc).
- 4) exec bash (where I work).
-
- I tried various permutations on this:
- xrsh annapurna xterm -e csh -c "source .login; exec bash"
- and I keep getting a flashing xterm window with "too few arguments"
-
- But csh -c "source .login; exec bash" works just fine alone...
-
- What is the appropriate incantation?
