CHSH(1)                          User Commands                         CHSH(1)
NAME
       chsh - change your login shell
SYNOPSIS
       chsh [-s shell] [-l] [-h] [-v] [username]
DESCRIPTION
       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, lchsh or any other implementation for
       non-local entries.
OPTIONS
       -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.
VALID SHELLS
       chsh will accept the full pathname of any executable file on  the  sys-
       tem.   However,  it  will issue a warning if the shell is not listed in
       the /etc/shells file.  On the other hand, it  can  also  be  configured
       such  that  it  will only accept shells listed in this file, unless you
       are root.
EXIT STATUS
       Returns 0 if operation was successful, 1 if operation failed or command
       syntax was not valid.
