RE: How Switch To CSH Shell in RH?

["Rigler, Steve" <SRigler MarathonOil com>]

FYI, there is no csh on RedHat (other distro's too?).

[steve sluggo steve]$ ls -l $(which csh)
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 Oct  6  2002 /bin/csh -> tcsh

And no bourne shell either:
[steve sluggo steve]$ ls -l $(which sh)
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 Oct  6  2002 /bin/sh -> bash

-Steve

That way you are just running a shell. But with chsh you change your
default shell, for the next session and forevermore, which is what I
think he was asking for, as he said that just typing the commands didnt
do what he expected.
