chsh − change your login shell |
|
chsh [−s shell] [−l] [−u] [−v] [username] |
|
chsh is used to change your login shell. If a shell is not given on the command line, chsh prompts for one. |
|
VALID SHELLS |
|
chsh will accept the full pathname of any executable file on the system. However, it will issue a warning if the shell is not listed in the /etc/shells file. On the other hand, it can also be configured such that it will only accept shells listed in this file, unless you are root. |
