Are you serious? The script is in tcsh? I didn't think there was anyone on the planet who still writes scripts in tcsh - in fact, even back in the late 80's when I used tcsh as my login shell, it was well known to be a crappy shell for scripting! Then again, I'm even serprised that Oracle still uses csh for some of their scripts rather than just sticking to Korn, Bourne/Bourne Again shells.
