How the Shell Works

Customize your shell by editing the ".tcshrc" file in your home directory. If you have never done this before a good place to start is to copy AKDA's .tcshrc file:

cp ~akda/.tcshrc /home/user/.

This file describes where to find (called the path) programs and scripts, as well as how some commands behave.

Which computers do we have?

There are desktop (D) and "work" (W) machines. Ask which desktop computer is used by whom and try not to overload those, if the person is in town. On working computers you can start processes (e.g. run GPS solutions). cpu tells you e.g. how many processes you can start/run.
