| | 5 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
| | 6 | .B chsh |
| | 7 | [ |
| | 8 | .BI \-u |

| | 15 | [ username ] |
| | 16 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| | 17 | This command changes the login shell associated with |
| | 18 | .IR username |
| | 19 | (your own name by default). |
| | 20 | While you can specify any program as a command interpreter, be |
| | 21 | cautious about specifying a program that won't let you change your |
| | 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. |
| | 28 | .PP |
| | 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 | |
| | 37 | The actual change will take place overnight. |
| | 38 | Users may only change their own information unless they are |
| | 39 | Moira database administrators. |
