If your account has been configured for CUE Unix systems, logging on, will by default, run environment configuration scripts that set your default path, default environment variables, and run news notification scripts. By default all new user accounts are configured for CUE and should require no modifications to login scripts. To make sure that your account is configured for CUE execute the /site/bin/cuefix script after you login to a CUE configured Unix machine. This script copies the default CUE .cshrc and .login files to your home directory, and moves your current files to old.cshrc and old.login.
When you login to a CUE configured Unix system your /home/username/.cshrc file is executed if your are running csh or tcsh. This script calls the /site/env/syscshrc script which configures your path, manpath, and sets several environment variables.
Next your /home/username/.login file is executed which sets login environment variables and executes two additional CUE environment configuration scripts. The actual scripts that are run and their basic function are:
If you wish to make modifications to the default CUE provided .cshrc and .login files you should try to add only those customizations that are essential. Making changes to these scripts can cause undesired results if the changes that are made are not done correctly. Remember that you can execute the /site/bin/cuefix script at anytime to reset your login scripts to the CUE defaults.
