Shell Debugger, Cshell

[srini]

   Hello.

   I had requested suggestions/comments on the need for a shell
   script debugger earlier in comp.unix.questions. I didn't receive much
   of response (only TWO). Maybe it was because I didn't give my
   e-mail address. This time I have and I still would like to hear
   more on the need for a shell script debugger.

   I have a question on Cshell.

   The set command in csh has been giving me some problems. When I
   use "set -x" or "set -v" or any other option, I get back a message
   "set: syntax error". When I do "echo $?" it says,"Variable syntax".
   I don't understand what this means. The set command works fine
   for "set verbose" and "set echo". Is this a feature of cshell that
   these flags will have to be given right at the beginning itself? Or,
   am I missing something? I would like to be able to set it "on" and
   "off" anytime. Do you have any suggestions for me?

   The set command with the flags is supported by ksh and sh.

   Please e-mail your responses to me directly.
