THANKS!
I just figured it out myself (the argument should be -ls, but it might
be aliased to -l (I haven't checked), and I think there's no need of
the -e argument if you want to start your default shell).
Thank you very much and have a nice day,
gaetano

well if you want to execute as a login shell you can pass the -l flag:
xterm -e tcsh -l

Hi Fawzi,
thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, that doesn't seam to fix it, as
if I do:
[gvitale:~] % ps
PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
1866 p1 S+ 0:00.36 -tcsh (tcsh)
2106 std Rs 0:00.24 -csh (tcsh)
(where the 1866 process is the shell of Terminal.app, and 2106 is the
xterm shell, started with the "-e tcsh" argument); as you can see
xterm still launches as csh, and uses a tcsh subshell. This is not a
major issue, but is annoying because I have customised the tcsh in
the ~/Library/init/tcsh/*.mine files.
Thanks anyway,
gaetano

As you can see from the man page
xterm -e tcsh
should do what you want (you can change the /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc )
by the way I find Apple's Terminal.app more confortable, you just
have to set the DISPLAY variable: add
setenv DISPLAY localhost:0.0
to your .login or .tcshrc or .cshrc

Hi all,
sorry if this has already been asked, and thanks in advance for
help:
I realized that xterm launches with a csh (even if my default shell
is tcsh);
my question is how do I set xterm to launch with a tcsh (or any
other shell)?
Thanks again
gaetano
