START_CSH(1)
NAME
cp /bin/start_csh − start a C Shell
USAGE
start_csh
DESCRIPTION
This command can be inserted in your user start-up script so that, upon logging in, a C Shell is immediately created and ready for use. You may also issue this command from the Display Manager, once log-in is complete, to create as many active C Shells as you like. See csh (1) for more information about particular properties of the C Shell.
Note: There is a distinct difference between typing /bin/start_csh and /bin/csh to the Display Manager. Typing /bin/start_csh, lets you start a “log-in”-style Shell even after initial log-in. Thus, /bin/csh is invoked and commands are initially read from /etc/.login and $HOME/.login (if such files exist).
