Hellow unix experts :
I am trying to install an imaging software on Linux called Central Test Node
which has an automatic environment setter or tester. But the command SETENV
does not seem to be in Red Hat 4.2. Am I looking in the wrong place. I have
installed this program on a DEC manchine using system V. But no luck under
Linux. Any comments, suggestions .....!?!?

Thanks in advance

In Linux you work under "bash" (bourne again shell), even if it's called
/bin/sh.
It is a mixture (as far as I understand it) between "sh" and "tcsh".

That is, you have to do, for example:
=====================================

DISPLAY=system:0.0 (and eventually, in some cases, have a look at your
/etc/rc.d/ files)
export DISPLAY

and NOT:
========

setenv DISPLAY system:0.0

Bye nIc

BTW: this should be in the FAQ, right?

setenv works with "csh" ("C" Shell) or "rcsh". if you are using bash shell
you should be using a syntax that looks like this for setting the variable
DISPLAY; DISPLAY=vt100;export DISPLAY

Hope that helps.

Use csh/tcsh as your shell.
I believe, "man setenv" will take you to the proper man page, too.

Use tcsh instead of bash as your shell.
