NAME

chsh − change default login shell

SYNOPSIS

chsh name [ shell ]

DESCRIPTION

Chsh 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 can be specified as the shell. 

An example use of this command is:

chsh bill /bin/csh
