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.
