I am having trouble with a shell script I wrote (forgive me if it is trivial,
what can you blame for a naive user):
#! /bin/sh
#
MANPATH=/twolf7/dchen/man
if [ -f $MANPATH/"$1".1 ]
then
nroff -man $MANPATH/"$1".1 | more
else
/usr/ucb/man $1
fi
It works if I explicitly invode shell, i.e.,
% sh [-x] man xxx
but does not work when I do
% man xxx
which gives me
No manual entry for .
My login shell is csh. It looks like the latter calls c-shell instead of shell.
If it is true, how can I solve the problem. Thanks in advance.
