.cshrc, .login



PURPOSE

Sets the csh user environment at login time.

DESCRIPTION

The .cshrc file provides commands to be executed at login time and variable
assignments to be set and exported into the environment.  The .cshrc file is
read every time the csh is started, while the .login file is read only on start
up.

After the login program adds the LOGNAME (login name) and HOME (login
directory) parameters to the environment and starts csh, the commands in
$HOME/.cshrc are executed, followed by the commands in $HOME/.login, if they
are present.  The .cshrc and .login files are used to tailor the user
environment variables.  The .cshrc file is often used to set exported
environment variables and terminal modes.  The system administrator can use
adduser to set default .cshrc and .login files in each user home directory.
Users can tailor their environment as desired by modifying their .cshrc and
.login files.
