When I try an "apropos foo" from the Cshell, about 2 times out of 10
it comes back with "/usr/ucb/apropos: Bad file number", indicating mass
confusion on somebody's part. More rarely it says "apropos: command
not found" when it's clearly there and on the path. What's going on?
You need to do two things:
1) Alias all of your private stuff by absolute path name
(i.e. alias foo /usr/name/bin/foo). This should get
around the "not found" messages which are a result of
a bug in 4.1c.
2) Put #!/bin/csh as the first line of all your Cshell
scripts. This will eliminate the "Bad file number"
messages.
