START_CSH(1)                    Domain/OS BSD                     START_CSH(1)



NAME
     start_csh - start a log-in C shell

SYNOPSIS
     start_csh

DESCRIPTION
     The start_csh command starts a log-in C shell (one that reads the files
     ~/.login and ~/.cshrc if such files exist).

NOTES
     See csh(1) for more information about particular properties of the C
     shell.

     When you log in, the first shell started is a log-in shell (i.e., the
     first argument is preceded by a -). Typing start_csh lets you start a
     "log-in" shell even after initial login.  Executing start_csh more than
     once causes the log-in script ~/.login to run more than once, which could
     cause unexpected results.  start_csh is supported for compatibility with
     previous releases, and is not recommended.
