Subject: manually saving history files
Message-ID: <5cfa99000908061830j76127djde4fcf58d583f15e@mail.gmail.com>

All,

A simple question - suppose I have multiple tcsh
sessions sharing the same 'hist' file.. Is there a
way to manually dump the history of one (and reload
it in the others), so the others will see it?
Or is the only way to get at the history by
starting a new session?

Thanks much,

Ed

See the "history" command in the tcsh manual page, especially the -S, -L and
-M switches.

Subject: colorls variables

Hi,

Every time when coreutils brings new colorls variable, tcsh
emits warning message like:

Unknown colorls variable `xy'.

The shell starts then, but custom .login and .tcshrc files
do not get executed!

I believe that unknown colorls variable should be ignored
or the error procedure should be changed to just emit warning
(to let user know that something should be fixed) and continue
without invoking error (see attached patch).

What do you think?

Best regards,
Vitezslav Crhonek
