16 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
17 | This command changes the login shell associated with | |
18 | .IR username | |
19 | (your own name by default). | |
76ca8a03 | 20 | While you can specify any program as a command interpreter, be |
f1647f51 | 21 | cautious about specifying a program that won't let you change your |
76ca8a03 | 22 | login shell to something else (i.e., a noninteractive program like |
23 | "date"). | |
24 | .PP | |
25 | When invoked, | |
26 | .B chsh | |
27 | displays the current shell, and prompts for the new one. | |
76ca8a03 | 28 | .PP |
de9a9988 | 29 | If invoked with the |
30 | .BI \-w | |
31 | option, chsh will change the user's Windows shell instead of their | |
32 | UNIX shell. The default behavior is to change the user's UNIX shell, | |
33 | and the | |
34 | .BI \-u | |
35 | option is provided to explicitly select this behavior. | |
36 | ||
1ee647e1 | 37 | The actual change will take place overnight. |
76ca8a03 | 38 | Users may only change their own information unless they are |
b865dabe | 39 | Moira database administrators. |
