Weird behavior with Tcsh
Hi,
I came across some strange behavior with my tcsh and xterm on slink. Here
is how I reproduced the behavior:
Two xterms both running tcsh, starting out in home directory...
xterm-1: mkdir -p test/me
xterm-1: cd test/me
xterm-1: pwd ---> /export/home/myhomedir/test/me
xterm-2: mv test/me ~
xterm-1: pwd ---> /export/home/myhomedir/me
The prompt in my "xterm-1" still shows "~/test/me." When I do an "ls" in
xterm-1 I get no error. Shouldn't I get an error since the directory
isn't supposed to exist anymore. Is this some behavior in tcsh that I
wasn't aware of? In the past I used to get errors from "ls" of a
non-existent directory if the directory was removed when I was in that
directory, at least from what I recall.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
-Ossama
