  • Thanks @teppic! I see ... How should I run the script set_color_scheme.sh if I don't want to start a new shell? The problem I have is that the way I currently get on zsh is by invoking /bin/zsh from tcsh (the default shell in the system) as we are not "allowed" to change our default shell. My concern is that if source the file via . or source, it may invoke the default shell on it (tcsh), and not zsh. Is my concern unjustified? Should I just use source or . the file after calling /bin/zsh ? Commented Sep 6, 2012 at 1:22

    I think this error specifically comes from export LS_COLORS=$( \ -- the line continuation char must be the last character on the line and here it is followed by a carriage return. Commented Sep 6, 2012 at 3:57
