Hi Sai, I think the problem here is how you set PATH - you have it just pointing to one directory, and that directory is not where commands like cp, ls, mv, etc. will reside (those reside typically in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin or perhaps /bin.
So, for your .cshrc file to really work, you should add directories to the PATH, but not remove those that already appear. For example, this is how my .cshrc file starts out... set path = () # initialization (DO NOT REMOVE) set path = ( $path ~/bin ) # your bin set path = ( $path /usr/local/bin ) # "standard" lab supported software set path = ( $path /usr/sbin ) # standard programs set path = ( $path /bin ) # standard programs set path = ( $path /usr/bin ) # standard programs By the time I've reached here, my PATH consists of usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin/ /usr/local/bin ~/bin so all of those directories are searched for commands like cp and ls. You may want to take a similar approach. I would only suggest switching to the bash shell if that is something you are more comfortable with - the functionality of the csh and bash shells are both more than adequate for SenseClusters, so it should not matter a great deal which one you choose. Please note that we have generally assumed the use of csh in our INSTALL instructions and test scripts, so you'd have to change things around a bit in both to accomodate bash, but that would not be too large a chore I am sure. If you are wondering why we choose csh in the first place, I think at the time we started to develop SenseClusters we were working a great deal with the Solaris (Sun) OS, which uses csh or tcsh as the default. I hope this helps! Good luck, Ted On Jan 27, 2008 8:31 PM, SAI TANG HUANG <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > This is Sai from the University of Brighton again.
