Sorry, wrote before thinking. :-) Of course ~/.login is csh syntax, as I would guess after (missed to) read the file's header which states: # .login - csh login script, read by login shell, after `.cshrc' at login. # see also csh(1), environ(7). So simply moving your commands from .cshrc to .login should be fully sufficient. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I'm sure the login shell has to be defined by the system, usually by the /etc/passwd file, field "shell"; therefore see "man 5 passwd". > Or conversely: > > Is there some way for my login shell (csh) to notice that it is scp or rsync > accessing the system, and skip the text output for them ? I don't think so, but it should work fine when you move the commands out of the shell configuration file (which is also read by script shells AND interactive shells) to the login startup file (which is only executed if the shell is an interactive login shell). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Any way to have login output AND use rsync/scp ?
I have my .cshrc file run some basic netstat and 'w' commands so that when I log in, I can see at a glance what is going on on the system and notice any unusual login activity, etc. However this completely breaks both scp and rsync - they cannot function at all (apparently) with any kind of stdio output from the shell. Is there any way around this ? Is there some way to specify an alternate login shell when I use scp or rsync ? Or conversely: Is there some way for my login shell (csh) to notice that it is scp or rsync accessing the system, and skip the text output for them ?
