CHSH (1)

change your login shell

SYNOPSIS

    chsh [\ -s\ shell\ ] [\ -l\ ] [\ -u\ ] [\ -v\ ] [\ username\ ]

DESCRIPTION

    chsh is used to change your login shell. If a shell is not given on the command line, chsh prompts for one. 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.

OPTIONS

    -s, --shell

      Specify your login shell.

    -l, --list-shells

      Print the list of shells listed in /etc/shells and exit.

    -u, --help

      Print a usage message and exit.

    -v, --version

      Print version information and exit.
