Message-ID: Date: 9 Jul 89 10:28:26 GMT Sender: news@phoenix.Princeton.EDU Distribution: gnu Organization: Cognitive Science Lab. Princeton University. Lines: 24 Did anyone encounter any strangeness in loadst (from GNU Emacs) under SunOS 4.0.1 ? I've just recently got a copy of Emacs 18.54 from prep and built it under 4.0.1 -- it was just a straight foward built (using build-install) and I'm just using a GENERIC 4.0.1 kernel. The strange thing is that while at root everything is fine but when not as root, loadst refuses to give the load-average values whether I'm typing loadst from shell or use it in Emacs. I'm just using csh in both cases so I don't it has anything to do with csh or the various settings in my .cshrc/.login files. Also, is Emacs's shell.el only geared towards sh or csh as subshells ? I often encountered the extra ^M's at the end of lines when I want to use a different shell within Emacs. Any pointers ? -- Eric Ho Cognitive Science Lab., Princeton University voice = 609-987-2819 (x2987) email = eho@confidence.princeton.edu eho@bogey.princeton.edu regards. -eric-
