I get a new cursor line
Manish
Feb 3, 2016 20:53
looks like there's no match
Manish
Feb 3, 2016 20:50
or any other file you think might be the likely reason
Manish
Feb 3, 2016 20:50
should I show you the /etc/profile?
Manish
Feb 3, 2016 20:50

Manish

How do I get a % instead of > as the last character
Manish
Feb 3, 2016 20:44
cool, thanks, I'll try it now
Manish
Feb 3, 2016 20:44
else my company would screw me over
Manish
Feb 3, 2016 20:44
I mean yeah, I just don't want to mess up anything from what it was before :(
Manish
Feb 3, 2016 20:43
this is what I get, any way I can get the cursor to appear on the same line in tcsh?

I just hit exit, now logging back in. I've run maven many times before in the debian machine, no change happened to the prompt at all! And yesterday, even though I did run maven through putty, I got an error - mvn command not found, so I don't think that changed anything as well.
Somehow, I feel maybe my accidental cd ... is responsible
Manish
Feb 3, 2016 20:33
okay, I'll try it now
Manish
Feb 3, 2016 20:32
should I do this in the /etc/csh.cshrc file?
Manish
Feb 3, 2016 20:30
umm, I'm pretty sure I didn't use a set prompt = .. It was a very brief putty session, where I noticed that maven was not working, so I used exit and logged out of it. Just 3 -4 minutes in total.

@JeffSchaller sadly, my ~/.tcshrc file is completely blank, there's nothing in it.

echo $promptchars gives the output %#. And there were no spaces between the cursor and the command echo $prompt, that was just a formatting issue, I think, my apologies. I'm updating the question with a screenshot of echo $prompt as well, I think it could help.
Manish
Feb 3, 2016 20:23
@JeffSchaller I added the output from echo $prompt in my question.

@Lilienthal Thank You for your comment here! I deleted my comment because I thought it felt redundant and also, as you rightly said, it's difficult for someone to judge my situation. Thanks again!

Although I did mention in the e-mail - "Please let me know if the dates are appropriate". Nevertheless, should I send a follow-up e-mail saying something like - I am open to earlier dates as well if the current dates are too far off. Or does that make me sound desperate?

need some help with a tricky interview scheduling situation---
I got a follow-up to a video interview where the recruiter asked me to schedule a telphonic interview next. The exact words she used were - "I would like to schedule a technical phone interview for you with one of our engineers in the next few weeks. " As I have some school deadlines in the next few days, and could also use some time to prepare for the interview, I gave my dates 3 weeks from now - 23rd Nov, 24th Nov and 19th Nov. Was that a mistake since it's somewhat far(3 weeks) away? I responded yesterday with the dates and h…

I wonder what's up with user HostileFork though!

You're fine! In fact, had it not been for your answer, I'd have perhaps made it a point to refrain from posting answers henceforth on ELU and ELL. I might still do that, but the point is, I am now crystal clear on what certain members of the forum are unto.
Manish Giri
Sep 3, 2014 22:05
I thought perhaps it'd be a good idea to personally mark him in a comment whenever a answer now on doesn't adhere to what he thinks are the forum standards. But then that would simply be cold-blooded vengeance, and I'm not stooping to that level.
Manish Giri
Sep 3, 2014 22:03
I wonder what he'll get out of all this, anyway.
Manish Giri
Sep 3, 2014 22:02
"I think he's deliberately stirring up controversy by misinterpreting the policy in order to try to get it, or at least its interpretation, changed."- absolutely spot on.
Manish Giri
Sep 3, 2014 21:58
Somewhat restores my faith in humanity!
Manish Giri
Sep 3, 2014 21:57
Thank You. I'm very happy to see someone who begs to differ from his interpretations of the forum policies.
Manish Giri
Sep 3, 2014 21:56
Or, I'm the only one who got the short end of the stick.
Manish Giri
Sep 3, 2014 21:55
At this point I'm wondering if he will personally make it a point to ensure that all present and future answers adhere to the new standards.
Manish Giri
Sep 3, 2014 21:54
Yes, it shows!
Manish Giri
Sep 3, 2014 21:52
I might remove my answer even, the point of contention.
Manish Giri
Sep 3, 2014 21:50
I'm wondering if he even took a look at some of my previous answers on ELL or ELU, before deeming my answer sub-standard.
Manish Giri
Sep 3, 2014 21:49
My point precisely.
Manish Giri
Sep 3, 2014 21:47
Yes, agreed 101%.
Manish Giri
Sep 3, 2014 21:43
I'd like to see how answers from first-time posters are dealt with, henceforth.
Manish Giri
Sep 3, 2014 21:42
As if the existing SE rules weren't enough, now you gotta name the author(s) of the cited material too.

Wow. What a hammering one gets when you try to be helpful.
