I was using rcp from an HP 319 (one of the 9000 series) and the command was failing miserably. I should note that when I run my .cshrc I echo out a "This is the .cshrc executing message" (probably lights are already going on over somebody's head out there 8-). Anyway, when I did an rcp, all I got was the first echo line of my .cshrc sent to stdout (even if I had two echo lines in the file, I only got one as output). There was no error message and no file copied. When the echoes were removed from the file, everything worked fine. Since I don't know quite how the rcp command is written, I'm still unsure as to what actually caused my downfall. Anybody have any ideas? Please email since I don't read this category very often. -- Ted Roberts | My opinions are not necessarily those EDS Technical Services Division | of my employer.
