tcsh: Check a specific script for syntax errors.
$ tcsh -n ${path-to-script-tcsh}
try on your machine
This command executes a tcsh script in a "no-execute" mode.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "tcsh" is the name of the shell program. In this case, it is the enhanced version of the C shell.
- "-n" is an option for the tcsh shell. It stands for "no-execute" mode, which means it will perform a syntax check of the script without actually executing the commands.
- "${path-to-script-tcsh}" is a placeholder for the actual path to the tcsh script that you want to check. You need to replace it with the real path to your script.
By running this command, you can check your tcsh script for syntax errors and potential issues without executing it. This can be helpful for troubleshooting and debugging before running the script for real.
