Re: questions
quite bullshit ;)
all scripts can be still on bash, while the shell you work in is on tcsh.
when you run a script, the shell it's on is runned again anyway. unless a
shell is specified in the first line in #!/bin/blabla - then it will invoke
the current shell - but every normal shell DOES have this line on top. I run
root as tcsh (although I know bash is better, but I am just used for tcsh,
what can I do... :) - and everyting works just fine.
