About lstcsh
About lstcsh
The lstcsh shell is a load-sharing version of the tcsh command interpreter.
It is compatible with csh and supports many useful extensions. csh and tcsh
users can use lstcsh to send jobs to other hosts in the cluster without needing
to learn any new commands. You can run lstcsh from the command-line, or
use the chsh command to set it as your login shell.
With lstcsh, your commands are sent transparently for execution on faster
hosts to improve response time or you can run commands on remote hosts
explicitly.
lstcsh provides a high degree of network transparency. Command lines
executed on remote hosts behave the same as they do on the local host. The
remote execution environment is designed to mirror the local one as closely as
possible by using the same values for environment variables, terminal setup,
current working directory, file creation mask, and so on. Each modification to
the local set of environment variables is automatically reflected on remote
hosts. Note that shell variables, the nice value, and resource usage limits are
not automatically propagated to remote hosts.
For more details on lstcsh, see the lstcsh(1) man page.
