csh

We have oracle running on Solaris, and the shell is by default CSH. So the login script set the oracle_home,oracle_sid in csh also. But I don't like csh and want to use bash to do my work. So how to source the csh login script in bash?

e.g, the following is what in the .cshrc file. And when use bash, I'd like use these variables. One way is to copy the variables again and use bash command, such as export ORACLE_SID=TEST. But doing so will let us to maintain two copy of the files. And when we change the database name, or upgrade the database, I need to maintian the bash login file seperately. It's nice to just use something like

source .cshr in bash, but it doesn't work.

setenv ORACLE_SID TEST
setenv ORACLE_HOME /oracle/TEST/home/products/10204
setenv EPC_DISABLED TRUE
setenv MANPATH /usr/local/man:/usr/share/man
setenv EDITOR vi
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib:/usr/sfw/lib/64
setenv NLS_LANG AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
setenv NLS_DATE_FORMAT "DD-MON-RR"
