X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2008 16:30:27 -0000 Can I force tcsh to say "previous command returned empty stdout" or something? I often cut and paste shell output for my cow-orkers, and it's crucial to note when a command returns nothing. Currently, I insert the information manually: > ls | fgrep 'phrase' [no results] but it'd be nice if tcsh had a setting to do this automatically? -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology.
