C shell

Greetings,

I'm looking for an equivalent to $- in ksh to something in CSH, which shows if its interactive or not.

$?prompt is a similar functionality..but it works in both cmd line and in a script. ..this is so that certain actions can be taken when run from a script, such as the stty cmd. Because stty complains whe it's run from a non-interactive setting.

Anybody ?

hi ,

have you heard about $argv[1] , $argv[2] etc ...

it's not so clear in your qustion , but I assume that was
your wish .

in a c-sh script , you can use the argumentS given by the script your with : $argv[i] , i= num of argument

$#argv = returns the number of arguments supplied .

You can try testing for "TERM" and "TTY" being set, if neither is set then shell is unlikely to be running from a terminal. Not conclusive but has advantage it works over all Unix versions and all shells.
