NAME

chsh − change login shell

SYNTAX

chsh name [shell]

DESCRIPTION

The chsh command is a command similar to passwd(1), except that it is used to change the login shell field of the password file rather than the password entry. If no shell is specified then the shell reverts to the default login shell /bin/sh. Otherwise only /bin/csh, /bin/oldcsh, or /usr/new/csh can be specified as the shell unless you are the superuser.

An example use of this command is:

chsh bill /bin/csh
