"640K ought to be enough for anybody"
- Bill Gates' remark on MS-DOS, 1981
There are several
shells available in CEE Unix network. You can change your login
shell using "nispasswd -s"
command. However, I strongly recommend you to read the
pros and cons of different shells before changing
your login shell to understand what you're getting into.
Of course, you can change back or to other shells anytime
using the same "nispasswd -s."
You can find out your current login shell by typing
-
$ echo $SHELL
(yes, $SHELL in uppercase)
For example, if your current login shell is "tcsh" and
you want to change it to "bash202";
-
$ rlogin rhino
(remote login to the network server)
$ nispasswd -s
Old shell: /usr/local/bin/tcsh
New shell: /usr/local/bin/bash202
Login shell changed.
$ echo $SHELL
/usr/local/bin/bash202
You can change back or to other shells anytime
using the same "nispasswd -s." There is no any single "bset" shell
by definition, and you may try different shells to find out which
shell works best for you. (and subsequently
understand the Unix better...)
When you're done with the login shell change, don't forget to Exit from
the remote server to your console workstation.
-
$ exit
(log out from the remote server and get back to your console)
$
(you should see console workstation name in your prompt now)
