NAME
chsh - change your login shell
SYNOPSIS
chsh [ -s shell ]
[ -l ] [ -u ] [ -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.
VALID SHELLS
chsh will accept the full pathname of
any executable file on the system. 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.

- -l, --list-shells
- Print the list of shells listed in /etc/shells and exit.
- -u, --help
