Execute ".login" startup file when the "csh" shell is ran

[JoseLuis2]

Hi,

Why doesn't execute ".login" startup file when the "csh" shell is ran?

#!/usr/local/bin/tcsh
#
# Default user .cshrc file (/usr/bin/csh initialization).

# Usage:  Copy this file to a user's home directory and edit it to
# customize it to taste.  It is run by csh each time it starts up.

# Set up default command search path:
#
# (For security, this default is a minimal set.)

        set path=( $path )

# Set up C shell environment:

        if ( $?prompt ) then            # shell is interactive.
            set history=20              # previous commands to remember.
            set savehist=20             # number to save across sessions.
            set system=`hostname`       # name of this system.
            set prompt = "$system \!: " # command prompt.

            # Sample alias:

            alias       h       history

            # More sample aliases, commented out by default:

            alias     d       dirs
            # alias     pd      pushd
            # alias     pd2     pushd +2
            # alias     po      popd
            # alias     m       more
        endif

Thanks in advance!

   Assuming the usual stuff about file ownership and permissions, I'd
expect "csh" to "source" the "~/.login" file, _if_ "csh" is run as a
login shell.

   Not run as a login shell.  Try "csh -l"?

      man csh   # Look for "login".

> [...] It is run by csh each time it starts up.

   Note that, of the two files, only the ".cshrc" template says that.
