I created the following script: #!/bin/tcsh
#csh script to prepend standard input to file argument #Version 1 #name temp file set tf = /tmp/ppd.$$ #get argument name set dest = $argv[1] #copy standard input, $dest to $tf cat - $dest > $tf #replace original file mv $tf $dest However, when I run the script in the tcsh with the following command line: (date; du ~) | ./ppd.txt ~/disk_storage& I get a syntax error (set: Syntax Error). I posted this script on an online Linux forum. A member copied it into vi, and it worked fine. Is there something in Cygwin that I need to do? I have written #!/bin/tcsh at the top, and I haved used set before in tcsh. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
