- AS for changing your shell try 'chsh' change shell, it's in the man pages also.
-
- Example: chsh /What_Ever_Directory_it's_in/tcsh
-
- If you were using Borne Shell (sh) and wanted to change to 'C' Shell (csh)
- you would type: chsh /bin/csh
-
- As others have indicated, on many systems, you can only chsh to a
- shell listed in /etc/shells (if the file doesn't exist, only csh and
- sh can be used). SunOS at least also requires the users shell to be
- in /etc/shells for ftp to work.
