Cntl-D when read as input means EOF. The shell reads commands until it reaches the end of the shell script, or the end of user input, and then exits. Cntl-D thus behaves similar to exit or logout. [ EOF really is a state of mind, not a character. ] > If i do ctrl +D in a terminal doing nothing ? Your shell will exit. > Will the terminal be runing forever in the background doing > nothing untill i kill it ? Nope. Your terminal window will notice the child shell process go away, and will do the same thing. > Where can you find a list of csh ctrl commands ? These aren't specific to csh, but see "stty -a". -- -Chuck
