NAME

6       chsh - change your login shell
7

SYNOPSIS

9       chsh [-s shell] [-l] [-h] [-v] [username]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       chsh is used to change your login shell. If a shell is not given on the
13       command line, chsh prompts for one.
14
15       chsh supports non-local entries (kerberos, LDAP, etc.) if linked with
16       libuser, otherwise use ypchsh(1), lchsh(1) or any other implementation
17       for non-local entries.
18

OPTIONS

20       -s, --shell shell
21           Specify your login shell.
22
23       -l, --list-shells
24           Print the list of shells listed in /etc/shells and exit.
25
26       -h, --help
27           Display help text and exit.
28
29       -v, --version
30           Display version information and exit.
31

VALID SHELLS

33       chsh will accept the full pathname of any executable file on the
34       system.
35
36       The default behavior for non-root users is to accept only shells listed
37       in the /etc/shells file, and issue a warning for root user. It can also
38       be configured at compile-time to only issue a warning for all users.
39

EXIT STATUS

41       Returns 0 if operation was successful, 1 if operation failed or command
42       syntax was not valid.
