gvimdiff without sourcing .cshrc in linux/unix

[Bu Rak]

Hi,

I want to know is there a way to make vim "not" source .cshrc file when gvimdiff is used...

Thanks,

Burak

vim should never source a .cshrc file.  I would assume that you're
actually seeing something wrong in your environment because the csh
that you launched gvim from sourced .cshrc.

Hi Matt,

Actually I am running the "gvimdiff" command directly (no csh wrapper).

Thanks,

Burak

Yes, but I think vim uses what it determines to be your shell (e.g.,
$SHELL) to launch diff.  Such a shell normally runs in
non-interactive mode in which it normally does not source its rc
file.  Not knowing much about csh, my guess is that your csh is
configured to always source .cshrc even if started
non-interactively.  One solution would be to fix that.  Another
solution would be to set 'shell' in your ~/.vimrc to a different
shell such as sh.

See

    :help 'shell'
    :help startup

HTH,
Gary

ISTR .cshrc is always sourced by csh and it's .login that is only
sourced by an interactive csh. So the OP should move everything that
is not necessary for non-interactive shells to .login.
