| Changing Your Shell |
If you discover that you were issued a shell which you do not like and wish
to change, you may do this via the chsh command. After logging in
to any workstation, simply type chsh . You will be prompted for
your password and then you can type in the name of a different shell. The
only shells supported on the EWS systems are /bin/csh ( C shell )
, /bin/ksh ( Korn shell ), and /bin/tcsh ( TC shell
).

Modifying Your Shell Startup Files |
If you are using C-shell, there are two files that you can modify to
customize your working environment. These files are : ~/.cshrc and
~/.login .
****** NOTE : If you modify any of your startup files and wish to have the originals back in place, like you started, you can recover them by typing the command, /usr/local/ews/getskel. You should give it the full path, in case you don't have it in your environment. This will restore your account to the way it was when you received it. ****** Your .cshrc file Your .login file |
