76ca8a03 | 12 | While you can specify any program as a command interpreter, be |
f1647f51 | 13 | cautious about specifying a program that won't let you change your |
76ca8a03 | 14 | login shell to something else (i.e., a noninteractive program like |
15 | "date"). | |
16 | .PP | |
17 | When invoked, | |
