Re: Execvp : /bin/csh : Argument List Too Long

Yes, the standard version of /bin/csh only allows for 256(ish) characters in each line. One option is to use another shell (for example tcsh removes the restriction and, for your purposes is completely compatible)

LIMITATIONS Words can be no longer than 1024 characters. The system limits argument lists to 10240 characters. I found this and when I tried this shell, I still get the same error.	[reply]
