Here are some of the most useful, that can easily be customized to anyone's unix environment. My favored is "up". Their names are short and mnemonic (to me at least), which of course you can change to anything you like. Take a look at the first few lines to see what each does.

I am a tcsh user, so the great majority are csh scripts, but can be used under any shell; if your shell is not tcsh or csh, make sure the first line is:
#!/bin/tcsh -f
( By the way, here is a good way to setup tcsh on your account. tcsh offers
  some indispensible improvements over csh; highly recommended!)

For installation directions, go to the end of this file.

Before you try them, I suggest you check if any nonstandard paths are used and change them to suit your environment.

If you have some nifty script that you'd like to share, please let me know (alexiades@utk.edu).

I hope you find the scripts useful.   Enjoy !

• In your home directory, create a subdirectory .S :
  mkdir .S     and move the scripts into it.
• Put it in your path:
  vi ~/.tcshrc
  insert it in the path, so it will look like:
  set path=( /usr/bin   $HOME/.S   ..... )
• source ~/.tcshrc
