Fethi, You can find this in the xterm man pages:
-/- -ls This option indicates that the shell that is started in the xterm window will be a login shell (i.e., the first character of argv[0] will be a dash, indicating to the shell that it should read the user's .login or .profile). -/- So using "xterm -ls -e /bin/tcsh" should do the trick. -- nico > Any suggestions to make tcsh work, or HOW TO change colors in bash would > greatly be appreciated, thanks.. --:: Nico Galoppo ::-------------------------------------------------- --:: scratch at ace.ulyssis.student.kuleuven.ac.be ::----------------- :: :: --:::::::::::::::::::::::::: Linux - Free power for the masses :::::::
