Which is a csh builtin

Startup scripts (assuming you mean a startup script in /etc/init.d and
/etc/rc?.d) should be Bourne shell scripts. The script that runs them
(/etc/rc3 for instance) passes the script to /sbin/sh unless the script
name ends with .sh (in which case it "dots" it - the Bourne/Korn version
of sourcing it) without passing it to /bin/sh).

for f in /etc/rc3.d/S*; do
if [ -s $f ]; then
case $f in
*.sh) . $f ;;
*) /sbin/sh $f start ;;
esac
fi
done
fi



If you really, really need a csh startup script (and I'm pretty much at
a loss to imagine why you would), write a Bourne shell script that runs
it (a wrapper) and put the Bourne shell script in /etc/rcwhatever.d
