Hi,

How can I solve the following scenario:

/--- source-file ---
| setenv MYPATH /my/path
\-----------------------

/--- executable-file ---
| #!/bin/csh
| source source-file
\-----------------------------

After running ./executable-file $MYPATH is not visible anymore since
the source-command has been executed in a different shell. If I remove
the shebang I get "./executable-file: line 1: setenv: command not
found".

How can I source a file in the running shell with the help of a
command?

Thanks and regards,
Amir
