There are several commands in the run script that may not work on your computer.
These include the specific location of the rm command. The run script assumes this is located under the /bin directory. If this is not the case, then you will see the error message

/bin/rm: No match

One solution is to remove the path and only use

rm

The second issue is the availability of the time command. If time is not installed on your system, you can install it yourself, and then specify the path to that time command.

Sorry, I tried but it didn’t work. I can find the path to time and rm but the problem still exists. Could there be something wrong with my script?
Here is my information:

This might not help, but try changing the first line of your script from ‘#!/bin/csh -f’ to ‘#!/bin/csh’. I think this will make the script source your .cshrc file which then might give you the same environment that you see in your interactive shell, including the “/usr/bin/time” command.
