19 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
---|
20 | This command changes the login shell associated with |
---|
21 | .IR username |
---|
22 | (your own name by default). |
---|
23 | While you can specify any program as a command interpreter, be |
---|
24 | cautious about specifying a program that won't let you change your |
---|
25 | login shell to something else (i.e., a noninteractive program like |
---|
26 | "date"). |
---|
27 | .PP |
---|
28 | When invoked, |
---|
29 | .B chsh |
---|
30 | displays the current shell, and prompts for the new one unless the |
---|
31 | .BI \-s |
---|
32 | option has been specified. |
---|
33 | .PP |
---|
34 | If invoked with the |
---|
35 | .BI \-w |
---|
36 | option, chsh will change the user's Windows shell instead of their |
---|
37 | UNIX shell. The default behavior is to change the user's UNIX shell, |
---|
38 | and the |
---|
39 | .BI \-u |
---|
40 | option is provided to explicitly select this behavior. |
---|
41 | |
---|
42 | The actual change will take place following the next Hesiod update |
---|
43 | from Moira, which generally occurs within three hours. |
---|
44 | Users may only change their own information unless they are |
---|
45 | Moira database administrators. |
