Shell Environment in Mac OS X
Authored by: thinkyhead on Nov 01, '03 02:25:29AM

The proper place to put your customized tcsh settings in Mac OS X is in the folder ~/Library/init/tcsh in files called:

  • aliases.mine
  • completions.mine
  • environment.mine
  • login.mine
  • logout.mine
  • path
  • rc.mine

The scripts in /usr/share/tcsh/examples set up your base environment, then you create the above files to add your own overrides and customizations. Type cat /usr/share/tcsh/examples/README for the details.

Shell Environment in Mac OS X
Authored by: customjake on Nov 05, '03 12:13:40AM
While these may be 'correct' places to place these commands, i prefer the .profile. The .profile file is more compatible with other shells. I came to this conclusion after consulting several *nix support sites.

There's my 2 cents
