Moss X-6647When I try an "apropos foo" from the Cshell, about 2 times out of 10 it comes back with "/usr/ucb/apropos: Bad file number", indicating mass confusion on somebody's part. More rarely it says "apropos: command not found" when it's clearly there and on the path. What's going on? You need to do two things: 1) Alias all of your private stuff by absolute path name (i.e. alias foo /usr/name/bin/foo). This should get around the "not found" messages which are a result of a bug in 4.1c. 2) Put #!/bin/csh as the first line of all your Cshell scripts. This will eliminate the "Bad file number" messages. - Moss.
