CHSH(1) User Commands CHSH(1)
chsh - change your login shell
chsh [-s shell] [-l] [-h] [-v] [username]
chsh is used to change your login shell. If a shell is not given
on the command line, chsh prompts for one.
chsh supports non-local entries (kerberos, LDAP, etc.) if linked
with libuser, otherwise use ypchsh(1), lchsh(1) or any other
implementation for non-local entries.
-s, --shell shell
Specify your login shell.
-l, --list-shells
Print the list of shells listed in /etc/shells and exit.
-h, --help
Display help text and exit.
-v, --version
Display version information and exit.
chsh will accept the full pathname of any executable file on the
system.
The default behavior for non-root users is to accept only shells
listed in the /etc/shells file, and issue a warning for root
user. It can also be configured at compile-time to only issue a
warning for all users.
Returns 0 if operation was successful, 1 if operation failed or
command syntax was not valid.
