.SH NAME
chsh \- change user login shell
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B chsh
[ username ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
This command changes the login shell associated with
.IR username
(your own name by default).
While you can specify any program as a command interpreter, be
cautious about specifying a program that won't let you change your
login shell to something else (i.e., a noninteractive program like
"date").
.PP
When invoked,
.B chsh
displays the current shell, and prompts for the new one.
.PP
The actual change will take place overnight.
Users may only change their own information unless they are
Moira database administrators.
