environment setup - change shell
Whenever you get a new *nix environment the shell you are offered to use may not be the one you like.
To change the default login shell is pretty simple:
first, check the available shells in the system:
more /etc/shells
Output:
/bin/sh
/bin/csh
/bin/tcsh
/usr/local/bin/tcsh
/usr/local/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/fdsh
/usr/local/bin/ksh
…
second, use chsh command
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/ksh
This should do it.
If your system has bash, which is my favorate, you will also need to create .bash_profile and .bashrc for the alias, promot etc… settings.
A sample .bashrc can be found here.
