As you may be able to guess, this is the shell configuration file for the C-shell.

Prompts

Modifying your prompt can make your work experience more productive. Here are some common variables for customizing your C-Shell prompt:

•  %/ - The current working directory shown as /home/user/
•  %~ - The current working directory with your own home directory shown as "~" and other users shown as "~user"
•  %m - The machine's hostname up until the first . (Ex: freebsd.yourdomain.com would show up as simply "freebsd")
•  %n - Displays the username you are logged on as
•  %M - The machine's full hostname (Ex: freebsd.yourdomain.com)
•  %t - Shows the time in 12 hour format (Ex: 4:04pm)
•  %T - Shows the time in 24 hour format (Ex: 16:04)
•  %p - Shows the "precise" time of day in 12 hour format (Ex: 4:04:01)
•  %P - Shows the "precise" time of day in 24 hour format (Ex: 16:04:01)

To experiment with various prompts, use the command set prompt. Here is an example:

% set prompt='[%t][%n@%m:%~]% '

Now your prompt looks like this:

[4:04pm][mixx941@freebsd:~]%

To make these changes permanent, you can add the "set prompt" line above into your .cshrc file. If you wish to make them global for all accounts, add that line into /etc/csh.cshrc

Meet The New Boss: You

What do coffee growers in Ethiopia, hardware store owners in America, and Basque entrepreneurs have in common? For one thing, many of them belong to cooperatives. By pooling their money and resources, and voting democratically on how those resources will be used, they can compete in business and reinvest the benefits in their communities.
