[lug] linux/tcsh question

[Riggs, Rob]

Have you tried "echo foo > output" to see if it's really the shell and not
gated_LS's interaction with the shell that is the problem? (And my guess is
>& is the one you want here.) Or tried bash?

Some applications get unhappy when stdin, stdout or stderr is not a TTY.

this should win the lame question of the year award, but...

I can't redirect input in tcsh.  I have some code and it compiles fine and
prints messages to the terminal.  But when I try to redirect it to a file,
nothing is written to the file (and I think the program may just hang).  I
have tried:

./gated_LS A > output
./gated_LS A >& output
./gated_LS A > output & (I know, this one puts  it in the background)

as well as wrapping the redirection is a variety of ways (using parentheses,
quotes, you name it).

System is RH 7.x., tcsh-6.10

Please enlighten.  Thanks ahead of time.
