NAME

chsh − change default login shell

SYNOPSIS

chsh name [ shell ]

DESCRIPTION

Chsh is a command similar to passwd(1), except 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 or /bin/oldcsh can be specified as the shell, unless you are the super-user. 

An example use of this command would be as follows:

chsh bill /bin/csh
