grep: Command not found when starting tcsh

2003-01-16 Thread J. Eric Bracken 
Note to the Cygwin-XFree86 team:

I have Cygwin and XFree86 installed, and I was getting annoying messages
of the form

 Grep:  command not found

every time I started up a tcsh shell.  I finally tracked the problem 
down to
the file /etc/profile.d/00xfree.csh.  This script apparently executes 
before
all other login scripts and is intended to put /usr/X11R6/bin on your path.

Unfortunately it includes this line:

 eval echo ${PATH} | grep -q ${X11PATH}

Because it's executing so early on, the PATH hasn't been properly set up 
yet,
and grep was not being found.

By replacing grep with /bin/grep, the problem was resolved.  This had
already been done in the file 00xfree.sh in the same directory so I'm 
surprised
the 00xfree.csh file hadn't been modified too.

Eric,

Let that be a lesson to you: nobody uses tcsh :)

I will fix the .csh script when I get a chance.

Funny that you noticed this problem, because I still have the inclusion 
of these scripts on my to-do list... I had forgotten that I had already 
included them.

Harold

  OI!

  Oh wait, I don't use tcsh any more.  Never mind.  :)
